Many years later, when Luigi decided to vinify this specific vineyard separately from the other vineyards, he also thought of the characteristics that the wine and the horse had in common.

The choice to work without compromise is the result of the firm belief that the quality of wine is created, at first, in the vineyard. The parcels have been carefully developed so as to contain only the main indigenous grape varieties of the Valpolicella area (such as Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta) and to recover venerable native grapes sometimes fallen into disuse, reinterpreted with modern techniques and trained by using the Double Low Pergola and Espalier systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Wine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine displays a deep, rich, opaque ruby color.

After only two months in the Buglionis’ new home, and without any knowledge of\u003cbr\u003ehow to prune, harvest or store the precious wine grapes surrounding their farmhouse, the vineyards were ready to be harvested. Initially, each vintage was a joyous event shared with friends and collaborators, but soon the Buglionis’ vision and passion allowed them to dream that they could become “real” winemakers. In 2000 — after renovating the farmhouse and its underground cellars — the Buglionis turned to the prestigious Oenology Institute of San Michele all’Adige in Trento, Italy, to find a young enologist to join them in their new adventure as wine producers. Diego Bertoni took up the challenge and is still their enologist today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description\"\u003eThis wine has serious tannins, even in the massive Amarone context, and you’ll have to go for them to find this exciting.

The 2013 vintage is characterized by a slightly more streamlined mouthfeel (which isn't saying much given the baseline enormity of these wines) with carefully etched aromas of black cherry, rum cake, dark chocolate and toasted espresso. The 2013 vintage was balanced overall without the sudden heat waves we saw in the summers of 2011 and 2012. The grapes finished a slow and steady ripening process over an extended growing season.

Consider that the dry extract is a massive 48 grams per liter. In fact, there is some minor precipitation of color matter even at this relatively young age. This wine was aged in new oak for two years (instead of the standard three years) with four years bottle (instead of three). That extra year in glass served to help the wine integrate and to reduce micro-oxygenation. The bouquet is bright and fragrant with floral notes of rose and violet that are rare to find in Valpolicella. There are faint tertiary notes as well that add to the complexity.

Once widely considered the heir-apparent at Quintarelli\u003c\/strong\u003e, where he worked for a number of years, Gaspari subsequently consulted for a number of local wineries, helping launch some of the most exciting young properties on the scene. More recently Gaspari has scaled back his consulting activities to focus on his own project. The \u003cstrong\u003edramatic Zyme cellars are carved out of rock and hold some of the most dramatic wines being made in Veneto today\u003c\/strong\u003e. Zyme is still a young property, and I am curious to see what happens here over the coming years. Gaspari is highly ambitious and technically very proficient, as these wines clearly show. The open question is whether he will allow the wines to express more personality over the coming years. Given his track record elsewhere, there is every reason to think that will indeed be the case. There is a very clear struggle here in trying to acknowledge tradition on one hand, while not being excessively bound by convention on the other hand. As a result, the top wine here is not Amarone, but Harlequin, a blend of various grapes given a short time of air-drying and aged in 100% new French oak. All of these wines required considerable aeration for some of the SO2 to blow off. ~90 Wine Advocate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGambero Rosso ~Due Bicchieri\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e***Free Shipping on 12 or more bottles of this wine***\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shaw Ross","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32828803776615,"sku":"SZKVIGT04","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0150\/0646\/products\/kairos.jpg?v=1600439887"},{"product_id":"2017-lorenzo-begali-valpolicella-classico-superiore-ripasso","title":"2017 Begali Lorenzo 'La Cengia' Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtisan Amarone Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBring home Verona in a bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBHW Selected Import\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eBHW Has the Lowest Price Anywhere!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree Shipping on 12 or more bottles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003c!-- accordion --\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eAbout the Wine\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the Wine Advocate:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"I have nothing but good words for the wines of Lorenzo Begali and his family. \u003cstrong\u003eElegance is the common thread\u003c\/strong\u003e that connects them all and this is by no means easy to achieve with consistent results, especially when you factor in the appassimento, the laborious air-drying process.

As with the 2003 Amarone, the French oak is felt in the slightly dry tannins, but that notwithstanding, this is a fascinating, full-throttle wine. Gaspari's aim is to make a wine that is as consistent as possible from vintage to vintage, so he leaves himself the option of back blending a small percentage of wine from previous vintages. ~93 Antonio Galloni\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProprietor \u003cstrong\u003eCelestino Gaspari boasts one of the most extensive resumes in Valpolicella. Once widely considered the heir-apparent at Quintarelli\u003c\/strong\u003e, where he worked for a number of years, Gaspari subsequently consulted for a number of local wineries, helping launch some of the most exciting young properties on the scene. More recently Gaspari has scaled back his consulting activities to focus on his own project. The \u003cstrong\u003edramatic Zyme cellars are carved out of rock and hold some of the most dramatic wines being made in Veneto today\u003c\/strong\u003e. Zyme is still a young property, and I am curious to see what happens here over the coming years. Gaspari is highly ambitious and technically very proficient, as these wines clearly show. The open question is whether he will allow the wines to express more personality over the coming years. Given his track record elsewhere, there is every reason to think that will indeed be the case. There is a very clear struggle here in trying to acknowledge tradition on one hand, while not being excessively bound by convention on the other hand. As a result, \u003cstrong\u003ethe top wine here is not Amarone, but Harlequin\u003c\/strong\u003e, a blend of various grapes given a short time of air-drying and aged in 100% new French oak.

The horse was free to go and always run in the highest parcel and more separated from the other vineyards. Years later, when Luigi decided to vinify this specific vineyard separately from the other vineyards, he also thought of the characteristics that the wine and the horse had in common. \u003cstrong\u003eNot just elegance and power, but also the darkness, like the shiny black mantle of the horse, the vivacity like his eyes, some aromas like tobacco and leather\u003c\/strong\u003e, like the seat of the horse. Many elements, which brought Luigi the memory of his horse. This wine is an ode to that majestic stead. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard is located at an altitude of 450m and composed of unique minerals, rich in limestone and rocks. The vineyard is also well exposed to the breezes coming from Lake Garda and from the hills at North, which favors healthy conditions for the vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuigi Brunelli - vine grower, winemaker, and craftsman - creates, with his own hands and with the help of his family,\u003cstrong\u003e products that are refined and of incomparable character and quality\u003c\/strong\u003e. Luigi is convinced that each of his wines tells a story: a story of pleasure and of unique fascination and emotions. The choice to work without compromise is the result of the firm belief that the quality of a wine is created, at first, in the vineyard. The parcels have been carefully developed so as to contain only the main indigenous grape varieties of the Valpolicella area (such as Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Oseleta) and to recover venerable native grapes sometimes fallen into disuse, reinterpreted with modern techniques and trained by using the Double Low Pergola and Espalier systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This wine displays a deep, rich, opaque ruby color. The intense and charming bouquet reveals notes of red fruits like cherries, raspberries, and redcurrants, mingling with faint hints of vanilla. Aromas of roasted coffee beans, aromatic tobacco and leather, cloves, and licorice come afterward. On the palate, it unleashes a powerful and robust structure, accompanied, though, by elegant acidity. The finish is very long and echoes the sensations one perceived on the nose. The blend is Corvina 65%, Rondinella 25, and the rare Oseleta 10%.
