Wine from Begali
Filter
Begali Estate is situated in the charming Valpolicella area, between Pedemonte and the hills of Castelrotto,near Verona and Garda lake. Since the beginning of the 20th century the Begali has passed from the tradition and love of the land and its work from father to son. Our vineyards (12 hectares) are set amongst cherry orchards covering hills and slopes in a small hamlet called Cengia. This name comes from the name of the rocks dotted around on the facing hill. This is why the wines we produce are so rich in aromas and typical flavours of the fertile land and reflect the harmony and the singular characteristics of this area. We are very determined and take great care in our winemaking process, from the vineyard to the cellar. This promotes our on going efforts to improve quality while respecting tradition.
We use a blend of the most important grapes of Valpolicella:
Corvina (and Corvinone), Rondinella and other autochthonous varieties.
Giordano, the father of the present owner at the wanery began production of the and Second World War. The second-generation couple Lorenzo and his wife Adriana, sold the first bottle of Begali in 1986.
Now the tradition continues with the son and daughter of Lorenzo and Adriana, Giordano and Tiliana

It still exists today perfectly conserved by the Manzone family in Bra, close to Barolo. The bottle is clearly marked as being of “1752” vintage, indicating that Cannubi historically precedes Barolo.

This wine is excellent with typical piedmontes pasta (tajarin, ravioli); perfect with red meat, braised and roast meat, game and absolutely ideal with all types of cheeses.
Review:
“Incredible, reserved ripeness and depth already evident on the nose after one whiff, offering plum, cedar, rose hip, sandalwood, and licorice. Full-bodied with superb depth of fruit and an abundance of polished tannins that give the wine poise and grace, even though it’s long and powerful. The quality of the tannins are exceptional. Sheer and refined. This comes from the center of Cannubi.”
