About this product

Bold. Refined. A modern Amarone with old-world soul.
Ca' Botta’s Cajo is no ordinary Amarone — it’s a rich, powerful red that captures the dramatic beauty of the Valpolicella hills in every drop. Crafted in small quantities from hand-harvested, air-dried grapes, this is a wine made for slow evenings, good conversation, and meals that matter.

Named after a family expression meaning “wow!”, Cajo lives up to its name with intensity and elegance in equal measure. Velvety, complex, and opulent, it’s a standout bottle that redefines what Amarone can be.

Why we love it:
Cajo is Amarone with presence — full-bodied and structured, yet never overwhelming. It balances richness with refinement: think ripe dark fruits, chocolate, spice, and a whisper of oak, all woven together into a long, luxurious finish.

This is the kind of bottle you open when the evening stretches out and the food keeps coming.
