Description
Lined with 999 cypress trees that celebrate and protect extraordinary biodiversity, Ca’ Bolani is a wine estate where vines and nature thrive in perfect tune with each other. Set between the Alps and the sea - where the Friuli region meets the Adriatic at Aquileia - in a land where wine growing was introduced back in Roman times; it enjoys conditions that are ideal for growing grapes and making wine: the summer breezes off the sea, the protection afforded by the Alps, the considerable changes in temperature and the variety of the soil that leaves behind its clay and gravel composition in favour of sand as it drops off towards the sea. As a result, the estate is a unique piece of wine country, a garden-like expanse of vineyards yielding wines known for their distinctive traits: fragrance and aromatic fullness.

It was the first property purchased by the Zonin family outside the Veneto - in 1970 - and the Zonins have restored it to its greatest splendour, making it into one of the most precious gems in Friuli’s wine sector.
Today Ca' Bolani has become increasingly well-known around the world thanks to the elegance and refinement of it wines, its constant quest for outstanding quality - both in the vineyard and in the winery.
In the area around Aquileia the equilibrium of the microclimate is perfect: the temperate breezes from the nearby Adriatic sea moderate the heat of summer, the warmth of the sunshine allows for excellent ripening of the fruit and the marked lowering of the temperature during the night enhances the grapes’ primary aromas, thus giving the wines an intense personality.
The area in which Ca' Bolani is located forms part of a zone that is particularly suitable for the production of high-quality wines: it lies in the so-called “Alpha” climate zone, where the thermal summations that occur correspond to those of other famous European wine-growing areas. Read more
