Bolla was the first winery to produce a wine with name "Amarone" on the label, in 1953. After harvest, the hand-picked grapes are laid out to dry in hillside barns called "Fruttai", to concentrate their flavours and bring added complexity to the wine - a traditional winemaking technique from roman times. Rich, full-bodied flavours of black cherries, prunes and cedar spice are followed by a long, elegant finish. Aged in oak for minimum of two years.

Tasting Notes
Intense ruby red colour. A spacious, layered nose with hints of forest berries and cherries. The palate plays on fruity notes and the finale is long and lingering
History
The first specimens of bottled Amarone (without a label) began to appear in the early 1900s but were limited to consumption by family and friends. The first bottle of Amarone della Valpolicella arrived in 1953 and was produced by the Bolla family, whose pioneering spirit and desire for innovation finally gave the wine an identity. The grapes were from the 1950 harvest.
Regional Information
Amarone Bolla is produced on the hills of the Classico district. 300-350 meters above sea level, with south-west and south-east aspecting.

Vinification Details
From January onwards the dried grapes were destemmed and crushed, then moved to the fermenting vats. Alcoholic fermentation was at controlled temperature and maceration managed with the aim of preserving the fruitiness of the grape alongside an intense but controlled extraction of tannins. Malolactic fermentation took place partly in small wood and partly in 4,000-litre barrels.
