Stars from the Consorzio Tutela Vini Valpolicella, for Amarone della Valpolicella
A very good year. A dry spring, then a very rainy summer; quality varied from area to area.
An uneven year: dry until flowering, then very wet, with a harvest that varied from area to area.
January to May was drier and slightly warmer than usual. June to August brought 575 mm of rain at San Pietro in Cariano and 461 mm at Illasi, against about 230 mm in a normal year, with some hail in June and August. Downy mildew pressed hard after the rains, luckily once fruit set was over; later, botrytis and rot needed care, helped by the September weather. Picking began around 13 September.
Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico “Le Poiane” by Bolla
The Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico “Le Poiane” by Bolla is a wine crafted with precision and respect for the traditions of Valpolicella. Made from 70% Corvina and Corvinone and 30% Rondinella, this Amarone reflects the characteristics of its origin in the Classico district’s terraced vineyards, situated 300–350 meters above sea level. The unique composition of dolomite-limestone and basalt soils provides a foundation for its remarkable complexity.
The production begins with a meticulous selection of grapes, hand-harvested at peak ripeness in mid-September. These are left to dry in the fruttaio, concentrating their flavors and sugars. By January, the dried grapes are crushed, and fermentation begins at carefully controlled temperatures. This process ensures that the fruit’s rich qualities are preserved while achieving a balanced extraction of tannins. Aging takes place in a combination of small wooden barrels and larger 4,000-liter casks, creating a harmonious wine with depth and structure.
The result is a wine of deep ruby red color with aromas of wild berries and cherries that interlace with subtle spicy notes. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied profile, where the fruity richness is complemented by a long, elegant finish. Its flavors are well-suited to a variety of dishes, including roasts, grilled meats, game, and braised or stewed preparations. It pairs equally well with risotto, especially the local specialty, risotto all’Amarone.
Served at 18–20°C in a balloon glass, this wine reveals its fullest potential, making it a perfect choice for savoring now or cellaring for 10–12 years. With its refined balance and rich history, “Le Poiane” represents the heart of Amarone tradition.

Founded in 1883 by Alberto Bolla , the winery soon gained recognition when he began supplying local white wine to taverns in Soave, then expanded to Verona and Venice, where the family opened a restaurant in 1902. In the 1930s, Alberto’s oldest son Giorgio, an oenologist, drove a shift toward high-quality red wines, prompting the creation of the Pedemonte site in Valpolicella Classica . This facility produced Recioto, Valpolicella, and later Amarone, alongside the well-regarded Soave from the original cellar.
In the 1940s, Valpolicella was already known for appassimento wines, especially the sweet yet balanced Recioto. Occasionally, complete fermentation produced a dry outcome known as Amarone, which Alberto Bolla privately kept in what he called the Nonno cellar. Realizing its potential, Giorgio released the first “Amarone del Nonno” in 1950 as a special birthday gesture for Alberto. That bottling paved the way for Amarone’s global reputation as one of Verona’s most prized reds.
In 2006, Gruppo Italiano Vini purchased Bolla Winery to uphold the family’s emphasis on quality-driven processes, enthusiasm for winemaking, and respect for local growing areas.
Today, the estate encompasses over 300 hectares of vineyards in Valpolicella Classica, the Soave zone, and the Lake Garda region. A network of about 100 grape-growing families, collaborating across three generations, remains crucial in shaping wines that balance time-honoured methods with changing tastes.
