Begali 2004 Monte Cà Bianca Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
Monte Cà Bianca shows the very best of Valpolicella tradition and territory. The Begali family had been selling grapes to Bolla for decades before breaking off to make their own wine. Amarone lovers should be very happy they did, as this is a rich, penetrating and absolutely delicious wine.
