Vintage Cellar Tasting- Bolla



Name: Bolla
Grape Variety: Bardolina
Region: Magnum
Country: Italy

Year: 2013
Price: $18....Sale $9.95
Cellar Review:  A blend of 60% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, 10% Molinara this bright ruby red wine has hints of black cherry on the nose.  It is soft and fruit-forward, with black-fruit flavors followed by a bright and fresh finish. Serve it as the Italians do – young and lightly chilled. Pairs perfectly with fleshy fish, beef, lamb, red-sauced pastas and pizza.    
My Review: Beautiful ruby red color. A pleasant blend of cinnamon on the nose. The smell also reminded me of the instant hot-chocolate powder I would have as a kid. The taste was an unbalanced combination of acid and plum.

*Did not have with food
