About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the Strassoldo vineyards, where the soils consist of gravel and silica. The Aquileia area is marked by sunshine, fresh Alpine breezes and proximity to the sea.

Grapes

Two clones are used: one of Italian origin and one of French origin.

Vinification

The grapes are hand-picked in the morning, placed in crates and selected to retain only the best bunches. They remain at a low temperature until the following day, when they are gently pressed. The two clones ferment separately at a controlled temperature of 14–16 °C.

Ageing

The separate wines mature on their lees for eight months before blending.

Tasting profile

The wine has expressive aromas.

Serving and pairing

Pair with Italian vegetable, seafood and fish dishes.

Label / history

Tenuta Ca’ Bolani was acquired by the Zonin family in 1970. The estate is located in Aquileia, an area associated with wine production since the Roman Empire.
