No winery in Italy has made greater strides in the quality arena over the past ten years than Bolla, a pillar of the Valpolicella region. The stunning turnaround in quality and fortunes is embodied in its flagship Amarone. The 2009 vintage shows richness and balance, with aromas of dried raisins and licorice, hints of vanilla, and supple tannins. The wine finishes with tremendous elegance and length. Platinum award winner at the 2015 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
