Begali Lorenzo Valpolicella Classico Superiore Vigneto la Cengia 2003
60% Corvina 30% Rondinella 10% Molinara
Valpolicella is produced from the same mix of grapes as Bardolino; Corvina [the most important, between 55 to 70 percent]; Rondinella [25 to 30%] and Molinara [up to 15%] but with more colour, depth, sturdiness and flavour.
Classico comes from the heart of this region in North East Italy and always makes the best wines — this is no exception.
A wonderful throwback to ‘old fashioned’ Valpolicella this wine has a good rich depth of brown-red colour with a first class bouquet full of fruit. Hints of cherries, almonds and with a touch of sweetness tease your sense of smell. The palate is positive and direct with all of the above showing well coupled with a medium bodied texture.
This wine belies the oft held belief that Valpolicella can only make ‘lightweight’ wine.
