Winemaker Notes
Bollini Merlot is styled to show the fresh, pure varietal character of the fruit, with an especially fragrant, aromatically perfumed bouquet. The palate is crisp, fresh and silky, with black fruit flavors, excellent balance and a texture of medium body. Subtle earthy, herbal notes supported by integrated tannins carry into the finish, make this wine an ideal choice for frequent, casual consumption.
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.
