STORY BEHIND THE WINE

The Begali Estate (10 hectares) is situated in the DOC of Valpolicella in a small hamlet called Cengia. The terroir is particularly conducive to producing intense, fragrant wines. Since the early 1900s, the Begali family has passed their learnings and love of the land tradition from generation to generation. Today Lorenzo Begali and his wife Adriana together with their children are equally passionate and excited about the vineyards. Their Ripasso is made with the “ripasso” technique, that consists in re-fermenting the Valpolicella wine on the fermented pressed Amarone della Valpolicella grapes.
