Description
Still red wine from Friuli Aquileia DOC, 13.5% ABV, produced by Ca Bolani, 2016 vintage. 100% Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso. A wine that tells the story of a unique terroir, with a winemaking process that enhances its characteristics. The nose is dominated by typical notes of small red fruits—blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Warm aromas of plum and brandied cherries harmonize with light balsamic notes. The finish offers lively spicy notes that blend with the olfactory sensations of licorice, vanilla, coffee, and chocolate provided by the long aging in wood. Intense ruby red color with a bright purple edge. On the palate, it is full-bodied, rounded, and well-structured, with an excellent balance between the natural acidity of Refosco and the remarkable softness of the tannins. It reiterates the fruity notes and balsamic notes that soften into a return of spice on the finish.

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
