“Proud of the past; passionate about the future” is the Bolla family motto, summing up respect for tradition and drive for innovation, essential requisites for maintaining quality over time, in line with consumer demand. Meanwhile, the world of filmmaking also contributed to the success of Bolla wines in the Dolce Vita years.
Between 2006 and 2009, Gruppo Italiano Vini acquired the winery, continuing production of Bolla wines and becoming a distributor of the brand all over the world.

Wine making | The carefully selected bunches, harvested in plateaus, are transported to the drying lofts, where they remain for about 120 days under optimal temperature, humidity and ventilation conditions. The drying process enriches the grapes in sugar concentration up to 24-25°B and in polyphenolic and aromatic compounds. At the end of January, crushing is followed by a pre-fermentation maceration at 5°C for about 7 days. Then a slow fermentation phase begins for 25 days at a controlled temperature of 18-22°C followed by further 5 days of post-fermentative maceration at 24°C. The pre-fermentative maceration gives a high glycerine content, which increases its importance and softness. Finally, the post-fermentative maceration gives balance and fullness and, above all, achieves the desired complexity. |
Aging | Amarone Classico Riserva “Le Origini” begins ageing in traditional 750-litre barrels for 12 months, followed by 36 months in 40-hl barrels first and then 80-hl ones. Finally, further ageing in the bottle for 9 months. |
