La Cengia Valpolicella DOC Classico Superiore Ripasso
Description
T he Begali Estate is situated in the charming Valpolicella area, between Piedmont and the hills of Castelrotto, near Verona and Garda lake. The vineyards (12 hectares) are set amongst cherry orchards covering hills and slopes in a small hamlet called Cengia. This name comes from the name of the rocks dotted around on the facing hill. This is why the wines are so rich in aromas and typical flavours of the fertile land and reflect the harmony and the singular characteristics of this area.
