Wine Review: Bolla Bardolino Magnum 2013

Name: Bolla Bardolino Magnum 2013
Variety: Blend of 60% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, 10% Molinara
Region: Bardolino
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price:  Regular $18, on sale $9.95

Winery Review: A blend of 60% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, 10% Molinara this bright ruby red wine has hints of black cherry on the nose.  It is soft and fruit-forward, with black-fruit flavors followed by a bright and fresh finish. Serve it as the Italians do – young and lightly chilled. Pairs perfectly with fleshy fish, beef, lamb, red-sauced pastas and pizza.

My Review: A gorgeous red wine with a lovely cherry scent on the nose. Pleasant on the palate, light body without much tannin. Maybe a hint of raspberry and blackberry. If someone were to tell me what a red wine was made of and I had never had it before, this is what I think it would taste like. 

I did not have this wine with food.
