BUGLIONI / VENETO – VALPOLICELLA

Azienda Agricola Buglioni may technically be a Valpolicella winery, but its identity is just as strongly connected to the nearby city of Verona, where the family’s osteria cultivated a passionate following among the Veronese.

While much of Valpolicella is hung-up on swinging for stratospheric point scores, Buglioni’s wines are aimed for this enoteca culture. They inspire lively conversation with their vanity names, but more importantly, they complement a wider spectrum of food pairings than almost anyone in Valpolicella. Buglioni is able to balance elegance and docility without losing the tones, textures and aromas that make Valpolicella’s wines so unique. That, in its own right, is a neat little trick. And it has injected new life into how we can see what has been — and many ways remains — a stale and pompous wine way of look at Valpo.
