Vineyard and terroir
For the 2007 vintage, the fruit came from vineyards in the upper part of the Valpolicella Classico area.
Grapes
The 2007 blend comprised Corvina and Corvinone (75%) and Rondinella (25%). The grapes were carefully selected before drying.
Vinification
The grapes were dried until February, losing 30–35% of their weight and concentrating their sugars. They were then pressed, followed by a slow, temperature-controlled fermentation lasting 15–20 days. Malolactic fermentation took place during the first months of élevage.
Ageing
The wine matured for approximately 9–12 months in 500-litre oak tonneaux and traditional barrels; the tonneaux were new.
Tasting profile
Rich and full on the palate, with softness and warm, velvety tannins.
Label / history
Abele Bolla’s grandsons first released the wine in 1950 to mark their grandfather’s 80th birthday. Amarone was his favourite wine, and the name “Le Origini” means “the beginning.”
