Bollini Trentino Merlot 750 ML

Bollini Merlot comes from Trentino, where the clay soils in the cool, dry highland vineyards are ideally suited to producing clean, elegant and aromatic wines of great charm. Hand harvested grapes are destemmed and crushed, and vinification is carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by maturation in large oak casks.

Producer Information
Neil and Maria Empson’s proprietary label was named after the Italian word for “hallmark” – bollino. Aptly so, for when Bollini was born, in 1979, connoisseurs and consumers world-wide had been looking to the Neil Empson Selections imprint on bottles of Italian wine for a decade, as a guarantee of quality and reliability. The Empsons now determined to combine impeccable quality and accessible pricing in a brand of their very own, destined to fill a badly needed market niche: internationally appealing wines, known and appreciated everywhere, at price points everyone could afford. Neil and Maria chose a range of noble varietals from Italy’s northeastern regions of Friuli and Trentino, where high altitudes, night/day, winter/summer temperature extremes, multitude of microclimates and alluvial geo-history speak excellence and extract.
