Stars from the Consorzio Tutela Vini Valpolicella, for Amarone della Valpolicella
A very good year. Warm weather, plenty of water and a balanced harvest.
A warm year with good water reserves, balanced ripening and a slightly early harvest.
Spring was cold at first, then warm, with repeated spells of cold air and a lot of rain in the hills. Early summer was cool and unstable; from late July it turned hot, with local storms. Strong storms in early September caused local damage, with landslides and flooding in some vineyards. Harvest began on 10 September, four days ahead of the average, with good sugar, balanced acidity and heavier berries thanks to plenty of water.
Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico “Ravazzòl” by Ca’ la Bionda
Introducing the Amarone della Valpolicella “Ravazzòl” by Ca’ La Bionda, a structured and exclusive red wine from the Valpolicella Classica region. Made from carefully selected Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes grown in the Ravazzol hill, this wine boasts a rich bouquet of concentrated aromas such as dried plums, candied fruit, tamarind, and sweet spices. On the palate, it is powerful and austere with balanced freshness and a long, persistent finish.
The vineyards are located at an altitude of 200-300 meters above sea level, with an average age of vines between 50 to 70 years. The vineyard yield is kept at a maximum of 5 to 6 tons per hectare.
The soil in the Ravazzol hill is predominantly clay-limestone with a high percentage of rocks and stones, which gives this wine its elegance and minerality. The grapes are carefully selected and dried on “arelle” until January or early February to lose about 40% of their weight, allowing for a unique concentration of flavors and aromas. The fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation in wood. Afterward, the wine is aged for 36 months in 30 hectoliter oak barrels and further aged for 8 months in the bottle.
The Amarone della Valpolicella “Ravazzòl” has a deep ruby color with garnet hues, which will surely captivate your sight. The complex nose of this wine is intense and concentrated, with notes of dried tobacco, marinated cherries, and balsamic hints. On the palate, it is rich and powerful, with a perfect balance of freshness and structure, leading to a long, persistent finish. This wine is a true opulence in every sip.
Experience the elegance and richness of the Amarone della Valpolicella “Ravazzòl” by Ca’ La Bionda, a wine that embodies the essence of the Ravazzol hill and the Valpolicella region.

Cà la Bionda is a historic wine estate in Marano di Valpolicella, founded in 1902 by Pietro Castellani. It remains a family-run operation, now guided by fourth-generation brothers Alessandro (winemaker) and Nicola (vine specialist).
The property spans 29 hectares of hillside vineyards at altitudes between 150 and 300 meters, planted exclusively with native grapes such as Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara.
Traditional production methods play a key role here, resulting in distinctive labels that include:
- Valpolicella Classico
- Valpolicella Classico Superiore “Casalvegri”
- Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore “Malavoglia”
- Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
- Amarone della Valpolicella Classico “Ravazzol”
- Recioto della Valpolicella Classico “Le Tordare”
Since 2016, the winery has held official organic certification, refraining from synthetic chemicals and using techniques such as sexual confusion to protect the vines. Sheep graze between the rows, keeping weeds in check and enriching the soil naturally.
This thoughtful approach helps preserve the delicate balance of the land, resulting in wines that convey a clear sense of their origin in Valpolicella.
