Bolla, Veronese IGT (Italy) 2011

This is Bolla’s idea of a "Super Veronese," which is patterned after Super Tuscan blends that combine indigenous grapes with Bordeaux grape varieties. The Creso utilizes Corvina, the workhorse red grape of the Veneto, with cabernet sauvignon (35 percent) to craft a red that shows impressive weight and depth while retaining the freshness and brightness of the native corvina. A platinum award-winner at the San Diego International Wine Challenge.
