Vintage 2022
From the vintage reports of the Consorzio Tutela Vini Valpolicella
A hot, dry year. Drought tested the vines, but rain in August helped them recover.
Hot, dry and early: the year of drought, managed through careful work on water.
From January to July only 190 mm of rain fell against an average of 450, a deficit of 60%, and May to July were hot. Young vines and vines on light soils suffered water stress, but rain in August helped most of them recover. Veraison came in late July, about two weeks early, and picking began around 5 September. Disease pressure stayed low; local hail fell in August and September.

Valpolicella Doc Classico Superiore “Casalvegri” by Ca’ la Bionda
Indulge in the exceptional finesse and elegance of the Valpolicella Doc Classico Superiore “Casalvegri” by Ca’ La Bionda. Crafted from the finest grapes from the hillside vineyards in the classic zone of Valpolicella, this red wine is a product of the unique micro-climate, soil composition, and hill-side topography that provide all the necessary conditions for a wine of great pedigree. The decision to use all the grapes from the vineyard, instead of selecting the best for an Amarone, and to skip the currently fashionable “ripasso” technique, ensures the high quality of the grapes is not compromised.
The blend of 70% Corvina, 20% Corvinone, and 10% Rondinella and Molinara create a wine with notes of forest fruits, spice, and hints of rose petals on the nose. On the palate, this wine is fresh and complex, with a pleasing tannin structure. After fermentation, the wine ages for 18 months in 3000-liter oak casks, resulting in a wine that is a true testament to the exceptional qualities of the vineyard.
Experience the full-bodied, intense, and elegant flavors of this red wine that pairs perfectly with a hearty meal or enjoyed on its own. With its deep ruby color and aromas of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, black pepper, tobacco, and menthol, the Valpolicella Doc Classico Superiore “Casalvegri” by Ca’ La Bionda is sure to be a hit amongst wine lovers and connoisseurs alike.

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.
