Medium Body, Fruity (Bonarda). DOC. Alc 13.5%.
Lightly sparkling red wine from local Bonarda grapes. These indigenous vines grow on hillside vineyards east of Turin (Colline Torinesi) in the area of Castelnuovo Don Bosco.
If you like a dry Lambrusco this could be your new favourite tipple!! The fruit is fresh and lively, while the finish is savoury. Expect notes of blueberries, blackberries, cherries, ripe plum and plum sauce, with dark flowers like violets and a touch of brambles, plus a hint of spice (clove) and a touch of herbal or medicinal character on the finish. Serve very slightly chilled and pair with cold cuts and cheese, especially on a sunny Singapore afternoon.
WINERY NOTES:
Bonarda is one of Piedmont’s venerable and prized grape varieties, as well as a wine typical of the Oltrepò Pavese area. We produce limited amounts of our bonarda, with its refines nose of red berry fruit enriched by nuances of spice, subtle but recognisable. The slight effervescence of Moyè increases the appeal of its palate, bringing out its freshness without compromising its complexity. Served chilled, it is wonderful with marinates and stews, or with Piedmont’s traditional fritto misto.
VINIFICATION:
Once the alcoholic fermentation with selected yeasts is over, the new wine is stored for some months at 18°, so to help the fulfilment of the malolactic fermentation. It follows natural settling with the separation of the deposits and a refinement in steel barrels. In spring, shortly before bottling, we add a small amount of sweet wine; it starts a new fermentaton which enriches the Bonarda of its typical bubbles, making it a very pleasant and easy to drink wine.
