About the Wine

Picture this: blazing Mediterranean sun, electric-blue waters, delicious seafood pasta, and this insane Sicilian red lighting up your taste buds. That's straight-up liquid vacation from Bella Sicilia—the perfect escape for anyone stuck dreaming of Italian coastlines.

This wine is absolutely crushing it. Legendary critic Luca Maroni blessed it with 99 points, declaring it "one of the year's best" from all of Italy in 2019. When Italy's most popular wine judge completely loses it over a bottle, you know you're holding a real gem.

La Bollina's amazing blend combines native Nero d'Avola with Cabernet Sauvignon for something totally unique. Rich vanilla, coffee, and chocolate flavors burst across your taste buds while smooth tannins give you that warm Mediterranean feeling.

Sicily's volcanic soils and intense sunshine pack into every sip, creating an incredible wine that makes you shout "Delizioso!"

La Bollina Winery is one to watch. This impressive Italian estate is creating innovative, fun, amazing value wines. Thanks to its high quality and uniqueness, this winery has quickly become Luca Maroni's darling, who has blessed it with impressive reviews year after year.

La Bollina is located in Serravalle Scrivia AL, Italy. A municipality in the province of Alessandria, about 62 miles southeast of Turin. This historical territory was for centuries the residence of the Marchioness Figari of Genova. A 300-acre winery, surrounded by hills and chestnut forests is the location where La Bollina's magnificent wines are born.

Besides having 70 acres of cultivated vineyards, and an excellent and well-equipped cellar, in La Bollina you can find luxury accommodation for guests: An “Art Nouveau” style villa, a modern 4-star hotel, and a 9-hole golf course that expands throughout the vineyards. Bollina Winery is completely renovated and has some of the most advanced techniques, systems, and instruments in modern winemaking.

Andrea Bernardini, La Bollina's consultant, is a passionate winemaker who has hit numerous home runs. In 2007, he graduated from Pisa, one of the best schools of enology in Italy. He earned his chops at Poggio Bonelli and Ruffino in Tuscany and trained in South Africa, Romania and Greece. After several years of experience, he is now a flying winemaker blending tradition and modern techniques to obtain high-quality wines with respect to the expression of the different grapes and terroir in which he works. He works hand in hand with Alex to produce these magical wines.

Aging: 10 months in French oak barrels

Tasting Notes

50% Nero d'Avola, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon. Typical and varietal notes of cherry, mulberry, and raspberry, blended with nuances of elegant spices such as vanilla, coffee, and cocoa. The palate is wide, and warm and envelopes the mouth with grip, elegant and velvety tannins. Fruity and rich aftertaste. Enjoy on its own or comfortably pair with any tomato dish, pasta, puttanesca, or grilled meat.
