Winemaker Notes
The result of our classic techniques is a wine of deep color and superb extract, with lush, concentrated varietal flavors of berries and plums. The fragrance is aromatic and earthy, and the abundant yet ripe tannins lend a rich, velvety texture and firm structure of medium dimension and early approachability. The persistent finish is full and voluptuous, with lingering notes of herbs.
Neil and Maria Empson's proprietary label was named after the Italian word for "hallmark" - bollino. Aptly so, for when Bollini was born, in 1979, connoisseurs and consumers world-wide had been looking to the Neil Empson Selections imprint on bottles of Italian wine for a decade, as a guarantee of quality and reliability.
The Empsons now determined to combine impeccable quality and accessible pricing in a brand of their very own, destined to fill a badly needed market niche: internationally appealing wines, known and appreciated everywhere, at price points everyone could afford.
Neil and Maria chose a range of noble varietals from Italy's northeastern regions of Friuli and Trentino, where high altitudes, night/day, winter/summer temperature extremes, multitude of microclimates and alluvial geo-history speak excellence and extract.
