VINIFICATION AND AGING
Gentle destemming & cold maceration in horizontal presses for c. 12 hours w/skin contact; temp.-controlled fermentation is activated by inoculation w/select yeasts. C. 40% is fermented in French oak barrels, partly new and partly used in order to keep the fresh fruit character of the wine.
TASTING NOTES
Straw yellow with golden reflections; fruity bouquet ranging from honey to vanilla & exotic fruit; full, well balanced on the palate, with a long, consistent finish.
SUITABLE FOR VEGANS
Serve lightly chilled at 10-12. Certified vegan-friendly.
A firmer, fresher, more European style of Chardonnay, Barricato 40 shows intense varietal character, with refined white fruit, spice and vanilla notes on both the nose and the palate. The texture is delicate yet ample, with a long finish marked by slightly toasty nuances.
About Bollini
The story of Bollini began in 1979, when Neil and Maria Empson – who pioneered Italy’s quality wine exports a decade earlier – created their own label from the Alpine foothills of Friuli and Trentino. Their purpose was to showcase the excellence and consistency of noble international varieties in the cool northeastern regions of Italy, while maintaining accessible price points.
The Empsons have always relied on teams of top professionals and two state-of-the-art wineries, one in each appellation. Prime, hillside locations, ideal day/night temperature swings, and the complexity and minerality that come from alluvial geo-history, all contribute to achieving concentrated, highly extracted fruit. Vinified to the strictest quality standards, the wines are the perfect example of the Empson criteria for excellence.
