Under Antonio Cesari’s meticulous care, Brigaldara has moved away from the over-extracted, heavy styles of the past and into a realm of balance and finesse, wines that glow with fruit, minerality and tension. The 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva is a benchmark vintage, a seductive mix of dark fruit, spice and savoury depth that has critics raving.
Brigaldara, owned and run by the Cesari family since 1929, has become one of the region’s true reference points. Their approach is classic, never showy - precision in the vineyard, restraint in the cellar, and a clear focus on the integrity of fruit and place.
What the critics say:
"The 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva is a seductress. Vivid black cherry, raspberry sauce, autumnal spices and dried citrus peels form its sultry bouquet. It envelops the palate with velvety textures offset by masses of mineral-infused red and black fruits, as a balsamic twang adds pinching tension toward the close. The 2016 finishes with dramatic length, hauntingly dark yet lively, mixing sour wild berries with a salivating twang of vibrant acidity. Finishing under one gram of residual sugar, the balance here is spellbinding. Utterly classic."
