Est. delivery mid-November 2026 Brigaldara’s Cavolo Amarone della Valpolicella 2020 is a benchmark example of traditional Amarone - rich, elegant, and perfectly balanced between power and poise. The grapes are sourced from the Cavolo vineyard, where only the most open, well-exposed bunches are chosen. After harvest, the grapes are dried naturally for about 120 days, concentrating their flavours and sugars. Once vinified, the wine undergoes a long aging of at least four years in large oak barrels, a nod to the classic Valpolicella approach that favours complexity and refinement over flashiness. The result is a deep, beautifully structured Amarone, with that signature Brigaldara freshness that keeps the richness in check. Brigaldara is one of the region’s most respected family-run estates, located near San Floriano in the heart of Valpolicella Classica. The Cesari family, who have owned the estate since 1929, are known for their meticulous vineyard work and commitment to expressing each terroir authentically.
