Description
What kind of wine it is
The Amarone della Valpolicella Classico by Bolla is a still red wine from Veneto, displaying a deep ruby colour with orange highlights. It is made from a blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta grapes, offering a dry and full-bodied character. On the nose, it reveals plum, cherry in spirit and chocolate, enriched by notes of vanilla, black tea, oriental spices and menthol. On the palate, the taste is dense, supported by polished tannins and a savoury streak that balances the sip, prolonging the finish. It is ideal paired with grilled red meats, game and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
This red originates from the historic subzone of Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, in Veneto. The winemaking is overseen by Bolla, a historic winery founded in 1883 in San Pietro in Cariano. The exceptional vocation of the area produces an intense wine, with an ageing potential that exceeds ten years.
How it is produced
The production process begins with manual harvesting, followed by the traditional appassimento method. The bunches rest for months in drying rooms, concentrating sugars and aromas. The grapes are then pressed and undergo a slow fermentation in steel tanks. The evolution is completed with a long maturation of thirty-six months in wooden casks and barriques. This ageing gives the wine a silky structure and great harmony.
History and Curiosities
This Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico embodies the excellence of the historic Veronese winery Bolla, founded in 1883. Bottled in the cellars of San Pietro in Cariano, the wine stands out for the traditional appassimento method of hand-picked grapes and boasts an exceptional ageing potential of 12 years.
