Bolla, Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG (Veneto, Italy) 2012

Jan 30, 2018

By Rich Cook

 A fine example of Amarone, where ripe and dry make a fine partnership.  The process allows this richness of super ripe characteristics to shine without having residual sugar clutter up the profile, and the result here is floral and raisin box aromas that lead to a powerful berry and spice expression where acidity and weight balance well and keep the flavors lingering long.  A nice value from the region. A Platinum award winner at the 2018 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
