Buglioni - L'Imperfetto Valpolicella Superiore Classico 2020
Cantina Buglioni is located in the Veneto region of Italy . The estate was founded in 1993 by Alfredo Buglioni and initially comprised only 3 hectares of vines, with an additional 2 hectares planted with olive trees. Initially, Alfredo did not know how to harvest or what to do with his grapes, so in the first vintages he was helped by friends. Eventually he found a young winemaker, Diego Bertoni , who accepted the challenge and is still working on the estate. Today, the vineyard extends over 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.
(I'm)perfetto is a Valpolicella Superiore . It is a blend of Corvina (50%), Rondinella (25%), Corvinone (20%) and Croatina (5%) .
