Description
In the vineyards of the estate, surrounded by the terroir of Aquileia, Aquilis finds the ideal soils for the cultivation of a small production of highly expressive Sauvignon Blanc grapes. With a careful vinification and an appropriate bottle refinement it can combine gracefulness and intensity in the glass, in a wine capable of evolving for a long period of time. The name comes from an ancient Celtic settlement that already knew viticulture, and that in the subsequent centuries, thanks to the love for the wines of the Romans that conquered it, became a center of production of great importance for the whole Empire.

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

| Fermentation temperature | 16 8 °C |
| Production technique | The green management is extremely important and carried out manually, with meticulous care. Leaf stripping is carried out by hand, removing the lower leaves in front of the grapes to encourage a drier and healthier microclimate. Furthermore, leaf stripping carried out only on the side facing the east encourages a sunny exposure at the times of the day when the sun is not quite as strong, thereby successfully preserving the aromas. The land is worked along both rows in order to prevent antagonism between the vines and the weeds, thereby resulting in higher acidity levels in the grapes. |
| Wine making | Grapes are harvested manually into boxes, selecting the very best grapes in the early morning hours. The boxes are taken into a thermoregulated room with a temperature of 6-8 °C, where they remain until the next day. A gentle pressing of the whole grapes and fermentation at controlled temperatures of 16 8 °C follow. Approximately 12% of the wine ferments in wooden barrels and the rest in stainless steel tanks. |
| Aging | Maturation is carried out on the yeasts, for both parts fermented in wood and fermented in stainless steel, with subsequent bottling and bottle refinement. |
