Brigaldara Amarone della Valpolicella Case Vecie 2018

Brigaldara Amarone della Valpolicella Case Vecie 2018 is a cool-climate expression of Amarone, shaped by the elevated Case Vecie vineyard in Valpolicella. The low temperatures during the drying process help preserve freshness and highlight the site’s distinctive character, giving this wine a more restrained, elegant profile within the Amarone tradition. Brigaldara has long been recognized for terroir-driven wines that reflect the nuances of each vineyard parcel.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Amarone typically shows a deep ruby to garnet color with impressive concentration. The nose is layered and refined, offering ripe dark cherry, dried plum, cocoa, sweet spice, and subtle balsamic and herbal tones. On the palate, it is richly textured yet balanced, combining dark fruit, dried figs, licorice, and savory depth with a cool, mineral edge that keeps the wine lively. The finish is long and structured, with firm tannins and good acidity suggesting strong aging potential over the next decade or more.

Production
Case Vecie comes from an elevated vineyard site in the Veneto, where the cooler climate helps maintain freshness and aromatic precision. The traditional Amarone blend of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella is harvested and then dried slowly before fermentation, allowing the grapes to develop concentration and complexity while retaining the vineyard’s cooler-climate traits. Careful vinification is used to balance richness with finesse, resulting in a wine that is powerful but not heavy.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with braised beef, venison, rich pasta dishes, truffle risotto, and aged hard cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano or Grana Padano. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for at least 1–2 hours to allow the aromas and structure to fully open.
