Review - Bolla Bardolino

Name: Bolla Bardolino Magnum
Variety: 60% Corvina 30% Rondinella 10% Molinara
Region: Bardolino
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $18.00

Wine Shop 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.

Personal Review: The Bolla Bardolino Magnum brought a strong woody, ruffage punch to the nose. The Bardolino Magnum smelled like a pile of wet leaves. The pallet was complex, beginning with black currant and raspberries before bringing an earthy, peppery flavor to the midpallet and finish.

Note: I did not consume this wine with food.
