STORY BEHIND THE LABEL

The Begali Estate (10 hectares) is situated in the DOC of Valpolicella in a small hamlet called Cengia. Here, 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. Giordano Begali began to produce wine after the Second World War, is succeeded at the helm by his son Lorenzo and his wife Adriana.
