Bolla is one of the oldest Amarone houses and more than 130 years later, the Bolla winery has grown into a globally renowned winery with a large range of wines. What has remained is the unique taste of the Bolla wines resulting from the special climate and terroir of the Veneto region. Oenologist Christian Zulian has been a winemaker at Bolla since 2015. Before joining Bolla, he worked for 13 years at Marchesi Antinori and several years at Domaine Baron de Rothschild.
The Le Poiane Ripasso is deep garnet red in the glass. In the nose the typical ripasso gueren such as Intense scents of black currants, vanilla and spices. On the palate, the wine is full bodied with flavors of red berries and cherries followed by a long-lasting finish. The Le Poiane wines from Bolla are only made in the peak years and mature longer than the standard Ripasso. This Poiane has matured in oak for 12 months. The bottle is also in a luxury paper sleeve. A true jewel on the table. This Ripasso from Bolla is highly recommended with grilled meat and game.
