Bolla Pinot Noir (75cl, 12.5%)

A light-bodied Italian red wine made from 100% Pinot Noir, produced by Bolla S.p.A. in Bardolino from hand-harvested grapes grown in rocky, morainic soils southeast of Lake Garda. The grapes undergo temperature-controlled maceration, followed by partial malolactic fermentation, and the wine is stored in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks rather than oak. The aroma opens with wild cherries and black currants, then dried spring flowers and a subtle touch of licorice. The palate is fruit-forward with black cherry and raspberry, balanced mid-palate fruit and velvety fine tannins. The finish is elegant and fruit-driven, with lingering cherry notes and smooth, integrated tannins.
