Bonarda History

Cellar: Vitea

Red wine

Grapes: 100% Croatina

Location: Oltrepò Pavese Lombardy

Opinion: Ohh we have a nice Bonarda, often a cheap wine with few pretensions but not in this case. It went down very well, it reminded me of a Pinot Noir at times, on the nose ash, pepper, undergrowth, wild notes and a pleasant wine to drink. Not excessive alcohol and not excessive acidity; certainly it is a cellar wine but... even young it has its reasons.

Rating: 87/100

Pairing: risotto, cured meats, meat, steak.
