Ca' La Bionda Bianco del Casal 2024 Bianco Veronese

Bianco del Casal is a 2024 Bianco Veronese IGT from Ca' La Bionda, a Valpolicella estate better known for its reds. It is fermented in barrique and aged for ten months on fine lees. The style is essential and clean, built on balance and precision rather than aromatic fashion or easy softness. It is luminous and fine, fresh but not thin, with structure, tension and a savoury progression that lengthens the finish. It works with spiced, elaborate dishes such as tandoori chicken. Intense straw yellow with golden reflections, it opens with apricot and peach over citrus nuances, followed by herbaceous and chalky notes. The palate is full-bodied, complex and consistent, with a long persistence.
