Vinhuset Ca’ Bolani ligger mellom alpene og Venezia, en vakker natureiendom omkranset av 999 sypresser! Det eies i dag av Zoninfamilien som kjøpte det på 70-tallet, som et prosjekt for å se hvor gode viner det var mulig å lage der i Friuli. Vinhøna har smakt de to vinene som er på Vinmonopolet, og vil allerede tidlig i artikkelen påpeke at de er gode kjøp!

Ca’ Bolani ligger i Cervignano, ikke langt fra den viktige romerske byen Aquileia (og midt i hjertet av Aquileia DOC), og Zoninfamilien har nå utvidet vinmarkene deres i området til over 570 hektar! Dette gjør de til den største vineiendommen i nord-Italia. Men det er ikke sånn at de produserer en haug med bulkvin likevel, de har fokusert på plotter, hvor de har 90 ulike, og kaller seg en ‘boutique giant’.
Det enorme antallet hektar vinmark Ca’ Bolani kan skilte med gjør også at de har et stort antall spennende viner! De to vi foreløpig har i Norge er to hvitviner i Selectserien:

“Sauvignon Blanc is certainly one of the wines that attracts me the most, as it is one of the vines that best represents both our winery and our winegrowing district. Our Sauvignon, in particular, stems from an in-depth research project that lasted several years. Sauvignon has always been present in the company but in 2009 we started to collaborate with the late Prof. Dubourdieu on the development of a working protocol in the vineyard and in the winery. The aim was to achieve the maximum potential of the vine and the winegrowing district, a process that culminated with the creation of our Sauvignon cru, Aquilis. I am particularly fond of this wine precisely because it is the outcome of a joint project which I and all the agronomists and oenologists at Ca’ Bolani worked on with passion and dedication for many years. As part of this project, we discovered that we had a particular clone of Sauvignon on the Estate. It was discovered in an old vineyard via what is called massal selection in agronomic jargon. We worked on these old vines with a local nursery to reproduce and multiply them. Today we can proudly say that our new Sauvignon vineyards are the ‘offspring’ of those old vines, whose grapes confer truly unique aromas and nuances on our Sauvignon Blanc. Our Sauvignon is literally the result of the combination of local tradition, our winegrowing district, and the competence and tenacious work of man and for this reason I feel that it represents us in a truly unique and extraordinary way.” -ROBERTO MARCOLINI, Direktøren av Ca’ Bolani.
