Ca' La Bionda is located in the commune of Marano di Valpolicella in the heart of the Classico zone of Valpolicella. Founded by Pietro Castellani in 1902, Ca' La Bionda has over 29 hectares of hillside vineyards at an altitude between 150 and 300 meters. Today the estate is in its fourth generation of family leadership. The soils of the vineyards are calcareous, composed primarily of marine sediment, which help give the wines a welcome freshness and verve. All grapes on their vineyards are grown organically — certified since 2016 — many on terraced vineyards, all of which are worked by hand.
Ca' La Bionda's Malavoglia Valpolicella Ripasso is made from 70% Corvina, 20% Corvinon, and 10% Rondinella. The wine is fermented for 15 days in 5,000 liter oak vats in contact with the skins of the Amarone and Recioto grapes and matured for 12 months in 3,000 liter oak vats. The wine is full bodied, complex and textured with freshness and elegance.
