History

Tigiolo is the wine of the new generation at Begali, and the estate says its name comes from its creators, Tiliana, Giordano and Lorenzo. It is made from indigenous and non-indigenous varieties in the estate's vineyards, which is why it is bottled as Rosso Veronese IGT rather than Valpolicella.
