Bonarda Piemonte
Characteristics
Bonarda is one of Piedmont’s venerable and prized grape varieties, as well as a wine typical of the Oltrepo 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 Moyé 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 a 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 fermentation which enriches the Bonarda of its typical bubbles, making it a very pleasant and easy to drink wine.
