No winery in Italy has come farther faster than Bolla, once known mostly for the blandness of its wines. No more. Across the board Bolla has improved, and its 2011 Amarone is nothing less than sensational. It shows ripe cherry and raisin notes, with an intriguing earthiness and remarkable persistence in the finish. A Platinum award-winner at the 2016 Sommelier Challenge International Wine Competition.
