Silvano Bolmida
Bussia in Monforte d’Alba is not only a little village, a place set in the wonderful panorama of the Langhe, it is one of the first outstanding sub-zones, famous for generating wines with complex and constant organoleptic originality. Fond appraisers worldwide have acknowledged these characteristics.
It is in these hills that rises the Farm Silvano Bolmida, where 7,4 hectares of vineyards are cultivated by the Bolmida family with a special attention to the low amounts of grapes for every singles vine. During the harvest the grapes are handpicked, the development of the analytic and polyphenolic values of every single portion of vineyard is taken into account in order to produce wines whose flavour richness and elegance are characteristics already present in each bunch. The long fermentation on the skins gives the wine its organoleptic completeness. The immediate placing in barrique and tonneaux (only few are new) with lees helps the polymerization and the stabilization of the polyphenolic constituents. The bottling without filtering guarantees the total respect of its characteristics. A long fining in bottle – 14 months and longer as for Barolo – succeeds in getting my wine ready to drink when released and it will be up to the consumer whether to appreciate their harmonious youth or waiting for the complexity in the evolution. In both cases the wine represents the identity of the vine, of the area, of the producer and of his family.
