Description
Bollini was created by pioneering wine exporter Neil Empson in 1979. More than thirty years later, the concept is as avant-garde and fresh as when Neil and Maria first created the range (having pioneered Italy’s quality wine exports a decade earlier). The Empsons’ goal was to express excellence and consistency at accessible price points. The wines come from prime hillside locations in Trentino region (north of Verona and the Veneto) where a combination of mountains with high altitudes, a multitude of mesoclimates and night/day temperature extremes speak of concentration, breeding balanced by freshness.
Pinot Grigio exhibits traits seldom achieved at this level, with pear fruit, mineral notes and a creamy texture. The grapes are vinified and aged in stainless steel but, to engender further complexity and depth, the wine undergoes bâtonnage on the lees. The perfect aperitif and delicious with all types of fish and shellfish.
