Tasting -- Bolla Bardolino Magnum 2013

Name: Bolla Bardolino Magnum 2013
Variety: 60% Corvina, 30% Rodinella, 10% Molinara
Region: Bardolino
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: Regular $18/Sale $9.95

Wine 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: It was a very smelly wine; almost like rotten fruit or ripening old gym clothes. It had an overwhelming taste of pepper and blackberries. The finish was quite sour. 


I did not have food with this wine.
