About the Wine

From Pizza's Homeland Comes Your New Favorite Red

From the legendary region that gave the world pizza, San Marzano tomatoes, and mozzarella di bufala comes this incredible Campanian red that's about to become your go-to bottle.

This is the ultimate "anytime wine"—bursting with juicy blueberry fruit, a hint of Mediterranean herbs, and smooth mocha notes that make every sip pure pleasure. The brilliant part? Almost no oak, so it pairs beautifully with everything from weeknight pasta to weekend barbecues, or drinks perfectly solo when you just want to unwind.

Here's the kicker: legendary critic Luca Maroni awarded this stunning 98 points, officially naming it one of "The Best Italian Wines." When Italy's most popular wine judge goes that crazy for a bottle, you know you're getting something truly special. This is what happens when Campania's incredible food heritage meets serious winemaking—a wine that's as versatile and delicious as the region's legendary cuisine.

La Bollina Winery is one to watch. This impressive Italian estate is creating innovative, fun, amazing value wines. Thanks to its high-quality and uniqueness, this winery has quickly become Luca Maroni's darling, who has blessed it with impressive reviews year after year. 

La Bollina is located in Serravalle Scrivia AL, Italy. A municipality in the province of Alessandria, about 62 miles southeast of Turin. This historical territory was for centuries the residence of the Marchioness Figari of Genova. A 300-acre winery, surrounded by hills and chestnut forests, is where La Bollina's magnificent wines are born.

Besides having 70 acres of cultivated vineyards, and an excellent and well-equipped cellar, in La Bollina you can find luxury accommodation for guests: An “Art Nouveau” style villa, a modern 4-star hotel, and a 9-hole golf course that expands throughout the vineyards. Bollina winery is completely renovated and has some of the most advanced techniques, systems, and instruments in modern winemaking.

Andrea Bernardini, La Bollina's consultant, is a passionate winemaker who has hit numerous home runs. In 2007, he graduated from Pisa, one of the best schools of enology in Italy. He earned his chops at Poggio Bonelli and Ruffino in Tuscany and trained in South Africa, Romania and Greece. After several years of experience, he is now a flying winemaker blending tradition and modern techniques to obtain high-quality wines with respect to the expression of the different grapes and terroir in which he works. He works hand in hand with Alex to produce these magical wines. 

Aging: 6 months in French oak barrels. 

Tasting Notes: 100% Aglianico. Cherries and blackberries are perfectly blended with the soft notes of wood that give this wine the pleasantness typical of the area from which the grapes come. Fruity notes are mixed with the vanilla and mocha sensations coming from the aging, good palate, full body, and roundness giving this wine excellent drinkability.
