Buglioni - Imperfetto Valpolicella Superiore Classico 2019
Cantina Buglioni is located in the region of Veneto, in Italy. The estate was founded in 1993 by Alfredo Buglioni and initially only included 3 hectares of vines, with an additional 2 hectares planted with olive trees. At first, Alfredo didn't know how to harvest or what to do with his grapes, so in the early vintages he was helped by friends. Finally, he found a young oenologist, Diego Bertoni, who accepted the challenge and who is still working on the estate. Today, the vineyard covers 46 hectares, mainly planted with the classic grape varieties synonymous with Valpolicella: Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Molinara. Mariano Buglioni, second generation, took over the management of the vineyard.
L’(Im)perfetto is a Valpolicella Superiore. It is a blend of Corvina (50%), Rondinella (25%), Corvinone (20%) and Croatina (5%). The vines are cultivated in pergola and the harvest, always manual, takes place at the end of September. Part of the harvest is pressed immediately, while a small percentage is left to dry until November. The two wines are then blended and the wine is aged in 50-hectolitres barrels for 6 to 8 months.
Grape varieties: 50% Corvina, 25% Rondinella, 20% Corvinone, 5% Croatina
