Description
What type of wine it is
Ca’ Bolani Sauvignon Blanc is a dry white wine that expresses the authentic character of the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety. Produced in the Friuli Aquileia area, it displays a straw-yellow colour with bright greenish reflections in the glass. The aromatic profile is a mosaic where scents of pink grapefruit, passion fruit and peach combine with herbaceous notes of sage, mint and green pepper, enriched by delicate floral touches. On the palate, it is full-bodied, supported by an acidity that provides fragrance and accompanies the sip towards an intense mineral finish.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Friuli Venezia Giulia, in the vineyards of the Ca’ Bolani estate in Aquileia, a privileged area located between the Alps and the sea. The territory benefits from an excellent microclimate characterised by sea breezes and strong temperature fluctuations, essential conditions for preserving the aromatic richness of the clusters. The diverse soils, which transition from clay and gravel to sand as they slope towards the coast, give the wine a clear gustatory precision. The viticultural ecosystem thrives in extraordinary biodiversity, protected by the many cypresses surrounding the rows.
How it is produced
The harvest period is determined by rigorously monitoring the acidity of the grapes to ensure the perfect structural balance. Temperature-controlled fermentation takes place inside steel tanks, using selected yeasts to enhance the aromatic profile of the variety. Subsequently, careful ageing on the fine lees, also in steel, increases the volume and intensity of the wine while keeping its fragrance unaltered. This method results in a vibrant freshness, ideal for enhancing shellfish, seafood risottos and vegetarian dishes.
History and curiosities
Produced in the historic Tenuta Ca’ Bolani estate, situated between the Alps and the sea of Aquileia, this wine is born in a Friulian territory dedicated to viticulture since Roman times. The estate, protected by 999 cypresses that celebrate its biodiversity, is a striking garden of vines whose roots reach deep into soils ranging from clay and gravel to coastal sand. The excellence of this Sauvignon Blanc Friuli Aquileia DOC is evidenced by prestigious international awards, including gold medals at the Berliner Wine Trophy and silver medals from Decanter.

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
