Tasting - Bolla Bardolino Magnum 2013 - Mar. 17, 2016

Variety: 60% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, 10% Molinara
Country: Bardolino, Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $18

Winery Review:
A blend of 60% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, 10% Molinara this bright ruby red wine has hints of black cherry on the nose.  It is soft and fruit-forward, with black-fruit flavors followed by a bright and fresh finish. Serve it as the Italians do – young and lightly chilled. Pairs perfectly with fleshy fish, beef, lamb, red-sauced pastas and pizza. (The Vintage Cellar)

My Review: This was an interesting red wine that didn't have a huge nose as I was thinking it would have. The nose has slight hints of blackberry and cherry. The taste was pretty lackluster though. I wasn't a huge fan of the fruity taste. I like my reds with a large punch behind it. I was surprised to see that this didn't have the exact tart finish I am known to like.
