2020 Bolla Le Poiane Amarone della Valpolicella

Bolla is one of the oldest Amarone estates, and over 130 years later, the Bolla winery has grown into a world-renowned winery with a wide range of wines. What remains is the unique flavor of Bolla wines, derived from the special climate and terroir of the Veneto region. Oenologist Christian Zulian has been winemaker at Bolla since 2015. Before joining Bolla, he worked for thirteen years at Marchesi Antinori and for several years at Domaine Baron de Rothschild.

In 1950, the grandchildren of the founder of Pedemonte Cellar in Valpolicella bottled their grandfather's favorite wine to celebrate his 80th birthday. It was Amarone. And so began the commercial history of this wine. The very first Amarone ever made, launched by Bolla, and now beloved worldwide. With this Amarone, Bolla rediscovers the origins of wine and produces it with dedication and respect for tradition. In the glass, the Bolla Amarone has a ruby-red color with a complex nose of plum and cherry aromas, with hints of balsamic vinegar. The finish reveals elegant notes of toasted almond. The flavor is powerful and intense, a true classic.

Le Poiane Amarone is only produced in the best vintages and ages longer than standard Amarone, so it's definitely recommended to set aside a few bottles. The bottle also comes in a luxurious paper sleeve. A true gem on the table.
