Tasting - Bolla Bardolino Magnum


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

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.

My Review: This was a medium, bright red color. It had a bouquet of cherries and raspberries with a hing of black pepper. It also smelled like an old, musty room. The body and mouthfeel felt very light which makes me think this wine was not high in tannins. The aroma from the wine was far more overpowering than the taste itself since it makes you expect a longer finish which in reality, the finish was quite short. I had this without food.
