Description

Following years of trials and experiences in a bid to find a blend of grapes with particular results, we believe that we have now achieved the product that we expected. Some old varietals, premature, are left to ripen on the plant for around 20 days and the grapes are picked and fermented together with the Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and some other old Veronese native varietals.

The result is a red wine with a deep colour and very intense and complex perfume; it recalls the mature fruit with a overtones of sour cherry and raspberries, spices (pepper and ginger, in particular) and, due to maturation in small wood barrels , very light cocoa and roasted coffee.

In the mouth, a hint of fruit marmalade and spices dominate; its high­tannin content is perfectly balanced with the natural roundness; it is very harmonious and well structured.

Area of production: hilly vineyards in the province of Verona, north of the cities.

Yield per hectare: The harvest is dependent on the seasons, the yield does not exceed 100 quintal of grape.

Harvest period: Even with the end of August grapes, (Merlot and natives) we try to begin in mid­September.

Wine Maker

BONAZZI BADIN The farm is situated in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica area. The name “Classica” refers to the unique small area north of Verona where Amarone, Recioto and Valpolicella have always been produced. That is, before the DOC and DOCG production area was extended in 1968. Our wine cellar and its surrounding vineyards are located in this privileged territory, in a wonderful elevated position on a south-facing hill. Since the second half of the 18th century, we, the Bonazzi family - initially as sharecroppers - have cultivated, with love and respect, a total of 8 hectares mainly planted with vines, as well as olive and cherry trees. Later, in 1962, Alessandro Bonazzi acquired the houses and the land and established the farm. At the same time, his sons Mario, Angelo and Luciano continued his work, enhancing the winemaking part of the business. They made important land improvements and received great recognition from the local market, also thanks to prestigious wine competitions, in which Bonazzi wines have always made the company excel. Nowadays, Giorgio and Ivo, grandsons of Alessandro, continue the farming and wine-making activities with passion and great dedication, focusing on certain aspects that we consider crucial: environmental impact, respect for traditions and hospitality.
