In the glass

Palate: deep concentrated fruit, long structure
The estate's Riserva, garnet red with an intense, ethereal and spiced nose and a minimum of four years of ageing behind it, from the double-selected bunches of the Monte Cà Bianca site.
What it pairs with
-
Roast rib of beef
A Riserva at this weight needs plain, rich meat. -
Braised game
Four years of ageing leaves a texture that suits slow-cooked game. -
Extra-aged cheese
Salt is the counterweight to the wine's concentration.
History
Monte Cà Bianca is Begali's Riserva, made like the estate's Amarone with two selections of the ripest, loosest bunches but given a minimum of four years of ageing in cellar and bottle before release.
