DISCOVER THE VOLCANO’S ENERGY
IN THE BLANC DE NOIR’S EXUBERANCE
For a hundred and fifty years, the Nerello Mascalese has been the soul of the Gangemi family.
We persist in studying it to enhance excellent sparkling wines, experimenting with increasingly longer aging and delicate dosages.
The six months of aging on lees give aromatic complexity while preserving the freshness of the noble indigenous grape variety.
Eclectic and fragrant, surprise your friends by serving it as a fruit-based aperitif!

FOOD PAIRING
A meal without wine is like a day without sunshine (Anthelme Brillat-Savarin)
Bollenere is a versatile wine for drinking with any food, and particularly suitable as an accompaniment for typical Sicilian dishes.
It really brings out the flavour of white-fleshed fruits, prickly pears and raw Mediterranean seafood.
It surprises the palate when sipped with frozen fruit and delicate desserts.
