Bolla Soave Classico | Veneto, Italy

£14.30

Made from 100% Garganega grapes grown in historical hill-side vineyards on mineral rich volcanic soils. The old vines, of 25+ years, produce straggly and light bunches with characteristic golden berries.

The vineyards are south facing at an altitude of about 350-450 metres above sea level. Soils of volcanic origin and rich in minerals, on steep slopes furrowed by ancient dry stone terracing.

Grapes are picked from late September to mid-October and immediately undergo soft crushing with short cold maceration. Once alcoholic fermentation is finished the wine is left on the lees until bottling, which is scheduled for the end of the winter.

This wine is one of the ‘Retro’ range that draws on the procedures of traditional wine-making as well as Bolla’s stylish labels from the 1960s.
