Bolla Winery celebrates its 125th anniversary this year. We were invited for dinner at their winery during the VinItaly fair. This winery has grown to quite a size and wines that they produce come from 5 different regions in Italy (Fruili, Veneto, Lombardia, Romagna and Tuscany). They initially produced wines just from Veneto prior to their expansion.
Highlights of this winery:
one of the very few that obtained the patent from the Royal House of Savoy - so they can now use the Royal Coat of Arms in its title.
Our dinner menu for the night. What I enjoyed most was the Risotto all’Amarone…imagine making risotto with a bottle of Amarone…we certainly can’t do it here in Malaysia as a decent bottle of Amarone will be at least RM250/bottle!
Some beautiful images of their cellar which we walked through prior to dinner:
When I saw the appetiser counter, I knew this was a start of a beautiful relationship haha…
All the kinds of salami, proscuittos I ever wanted to try….
It takes considerable skill to get the meat sliced to a thickness or rather “thinness” to not make it too chewy.
The Bolla Winery has a nice area where they consistently entertain guests, and this just adds to the magic of the night…
If you plan to visit the Veneto area in particular Verona or towns close by to Verona and want to visit Bolla, you can contact them by clicking on this link - or just gimme a buzz and I’ll try to hook you up!
