Yes, and Bolla is a big producer in Verona. Bardolino is a district well known for lightweight reds.

"Bardolino" is an Italian red from the Veneto. Bolla is a brand name. Bolla Bardolino is a Bardolino made by Bolla.

That would be "Bolla Bardolino". Nice, light red wine. Bolla Valpolicella is similar - and pleasant quaffing too.

I assume Bolla (maker) Bardolino (area wine is produced. Widespread distribution in US, at least. Dale

Dale Williams Drop "damnspam" to reply

oops, apologies- seems this was "asked and answered". For some reason my newsreader is droppin glots of posts last couple days/

Val Poh Lee Chella is a similar wine.

And don't forget to "Chill a Cella!"

"Riuniti on ice? That's nice!"

Maybe that is this one (Bardolino Classico):

or this one (Bardolino Chiaretto, quite close to "rosé"):

Also, keep in mind that grapes used to make "bardolino" are the same used to make "Valpolicella", only the area they grow is different.

My 2 cents

Hey, you're speaking Lambrusco, here :)

Hi Vilco

we should make everyone on AFW taste some of those extrarterrestrial Lambruschi you served us in the Cinque Terre...

Cheers

Definitely. I like to interprehet the word "extraterrestrial" as a shade of "celestial" :)

But let's remember that Moro del Moro has a 60% Pinot Noir, confirmed to me by Paola Rinaldini at the phone. The grapes used for this wine are creating a lot of confusion. If you find it reviewed in 3 different wine-guides, they almost surely list a different composition each one: AIS Duemilavini, for example, states it is 60% Lambrusco and 40% Ancellotta. BTW - the same guide does not review the Cantine Cooperative Riunite, nice move I have to admit :)

So next time I'm in your area (end of january?) let's go see for ourselves. Where are they exactly?
