Ca' La Bionda's Classico Superiore reflects the upper Marano valley's mineral character in a lighter-bodied, tart cherry register; crisp, food-friendly and genuinely typical of the traditional Valpolicella style.

What it pairs with

  • Spaghetti alle vongole in rosso
    The wine's high acidity and mineral freshness bridge red-sauce clam pasta beautifully.
  • Prosciutto crudo di San Daniele
    Cherry fruit and mineral freshness complement the silky sweetness of prosciutto.

History

Ca' La Bionda's Classico Superiore is the estate's everyday expression, emphasising the freshness and mineral character of the upper Marano valley soils.
