About Begali Valpolicella Classico Superiore:

 

Begali Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2021

Begali Lorenzo, nestled in the Cengia hamlet between Verona and Lake Garda, a family estate rooted in tradition since WWII.

 

Grape Blend & Terroir

Crafted from approximately 65% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, and 5% local varieties.

The vineyards, trained in traditional pergola, benefit from silty clay soils on hillside slopes—classic Valpolicella Classica terrain.

 

Tasting Profile

In the glass, the wine shines with a deep ruby hue. The bouquet is redolent of cherry jam, wild berries, violet, geranium, and a subtle tick of black pepper, barley, and mineral (rocky) notes. On the palate, it’s fresh and flavorful, with well integrated tannins, a touch of balsamic lift, and a lovely savory mineral thread through the finish.

 

Food Pairing & Serving Recommendations

Highly versatile—equally at home alongside pizza, regional hearty pasta or anything off a charcoal grill. Also excellent with simple summer fare—grilled vegetables or white meat—and even fish dishes when served slightly chilled at around 60°F.

 

Summary

A vibrant and approachable Valpolicella that balances fruit-forward charm with savory finesse. Begali’s 2021 offers immediate pleasure yet carries the subtle structure to cellar for a few years. It’s a smart, everyday Burgundy with Italian flair—ideal for home entertainer/outdoor grill master seeking quality and versatility from Veneto.

 

Why Buy This Wine:

 

Reasons to Buy Begali Valpolicella Superiore 2021

 

  • Small Family Producer in the Valpolicella Classica Heartland. The Begali family isn’t a mass market operation — they craft wine from estate-grown fruit in the original, high-quality zone of Valpolicella Classica. You’re tasting a focused, artisanal expression of the region, not an industrial blend.

 

  • "Superiore" Means Elevated Complexity Without Amarone Weight. Unlike Ripasso or Amarone, this wine has lift and freshness, but thanks to its Superiore status (longer aging, higher minimum alcohol),it offers:

 

  1. Richer texture
  2. Deeper fruit concentration
  3. Better structure for food

 

You get finesse and flavor — without the heaviness.

 

  • The 2021 vintage in Veneto saw excellent conditions: warm but not overripe, with great phenolic ripeness and freshness. That means you’re getting a wine with ripe cherry fruit and fine tannins, but also bright acidity — ideal for aging or drinking now.

 

  • Outstanding Value at this price, this wine punches way above its price point:

 

  1. Aged 2 years, some in new oak
  2. 30% of grapes dried — a nod to Amarone, giving it depth
  3. Handcrafted, limited production

 

This is what wine insiders call a cellar defender — something serious enough for

connoisseurs, yet affordable enough to open on a Tuesday by the pool.

 

  • It’s Seriously Versatile at the Table: from Charcuterie boards to barbeque ribs to grilled fish or a hamburger It’s the bottle you’ll reach for again and again because it never clashes, only elevates.

 

Final Thought:

 

Begali Valpolicella Superiore 2021 is a quiet star. It doesn’t need fanfare. It just

delivers: craftsmanship, terroir, balance, and soul — for a price that still feels like a secret.
