The Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave grapes for ourTufaie, named for the volcanic stone of the region, are hand-picked from a single vineyard in Castellaro in the renowned Soave Classico zone. This wine captures the stone’s yellow-gold color. With citrus-blossom aromas and soft flavors of melons, grapefruit and pears over subtle notes of spice and honey, it pairs well with risotto, shellfish, grilled fish and grilled vegetables.
Producer
Like all great legacies, the story of Bolla wines begins simply enough with one man, Abele Bolla. Abele lived in northern Italy in the Veneto region where he ran a small family inn. Wishing to offer his guests a superior experience, Abele made a decision that would launch his family’s business into the international spotlight. He decided to make and serve his own wine, a Soave. The year was 1883.
The Soave Abele made was a fresh, crisp golden-hued wine. It was immediately recognized as being true to the land, a wine that captured the essence of the Veneto region. Requests for Abele’s wine grew as more and more friends, family and guests tasted his handiwork. It was not long before the Bolla family dedicated all its time to producing fine regional wines from Italy. And the rest, as the saying goes, is history.
Fast-forward a century and a quarter. Today all award-winning Bolla wines are hand-harvested and created in Italy. The distinct flavors of the grapes can be attributed to the unique climate, soil and temperature of the region in which they are grown. Our goal is to capture those nuances so you will experience an authentic taste of Italy in every glass of Bolla wine.
