Brilliant ruby with hints of cherry, balsamic notes of vanilla and spices. Soft taste and good structure. It is a full-bodied wine with a balanced alcoholic content.
93 POINTS IAN D'AGATA WINE REVIEW
91 POINTS JAMES SUCKLING
In Case Vecie, with over 70 hectares, Brigaldara has set up a very strict action where men, plants and animals are all part of the same virtuous cycle: other than viticulture, forestry is practiced, and Brigaldara is responsible for the maintainance of dry-stone walls and fields, the management of the truffle ground and the reintroduction of sheep farming.
Brigaldara's relationship with Valpolicella does not end with winemaking. It is the reinstatement of an ancient and visionary bond with its terroir. The retrieval of an organic dimension. The act of cultivating the land baring in mind the importance of sustainability and of the natural synergies that take place in a balanced ecosystem.
A thousand years of history, one hundred and twenty hectares of property - forty-seven of which are planted with vines - distributed in three different areas of Verona: Valpolicella Classica, Valpantena and Eastern Valpolicella. A historic family, the Cesari, that has owned the villa and the surrounding land since 1928, who is committed to the enhancement of a rich and heterogeneous property. A team of young winemakers and agronomistsdedicated to the study and customization of each intervention in the vineyard, to enhance the terroirs and microterroirs that make up the different souls of the wines that are here produced.
Pairing Suggestions: Pairs well with most meat based dishes, but also cured meats and cheese.
Maturation: 8 months – 1 year in large wooden barrel
