About

The story of the Bolla winery is the story of a family that revolutionized the wine market in the last century to become today one of the most internationally important Italian wine companies.
The soil is volcanic, rich in calcium, potassium and magnesium. Hand-harvested grapes are crushed and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks for three weeks and the wine remains on the lees as long as possible, before bottling. A passion for winemaking, respect and knowledge of the territory and a willingness to experiment are the founding values which are still today the driving force behind the work of the Bolla winery.

Terroir

Upper hillside zone of the Valpolicella Classico zone in Italy. Marley soil.

Vinification

Select grapes are picked and then arranged on flat drawers and kept in a dry, cool, well-ventilated room during a four-month natural drying period. The dried grapes are pressed and go through a cold maceration with skins and stems intact for about 20 days. The juice is then fermented for 25 more days and then transferred to barriques and large Slavonian oak casks for 24 to 36 months.

Tasting Notes

Made from 70% Corvina and 30% Rondinella grapes from the upper hillside zone of the Valpolicella Classico zone in Italy. Deep garnet, velvety red in color. Aromas of wild-cherry jam, spice, and hints of cedar. On the palate, the wine is rich and dry, with black-cherry flavors. Round and long on the finish with cacao and spice notes. Pairs best with everyday food such as pepperoni pizza, red-sauce pasta, risotto, roasted chicken, pork, and barbecued foods.
