Name: Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Le Origini, Bolla

The name, 'Le Origini' means 'in the beginning', a reference to Bolla being the first winery to market 'Amarone' way back in 1953. Made using selected bunches of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes. After harvesting each year, the grapes are dried on racks until February of the following year before being pressed, fermented and then aged in Slovenian 500 litre oak barrels for 21 months. An incredibly rich and smooth wine with the ability to age in bottle for many years.

The Bolla winery began in 1883 in the small town of Soave, east of Verona, where Abele Bolla and his wife Giulia ran an inn that was renowned for its kind hospitality and excellent wines. With the help of his sons,this passion for excellent wines became a real full-time business. In the first half of the 20th century, the Bolla family began to make red wines in Piemonte, in the heart of the Valpolicella region, where the historic winery was founded and still exists today.
