90% Croatina, 5%f Barbera, 5% Uva Rara 90%
Croatina plus equal parts of Barbera and Uva Rara (Bonarda in the Oltrepò Pavese is not a grape itself: it's an appellation). Only 10/12 days of maceration in order to extract the right level of color and tannins. Tank fermented and aged, this is a frizzante or vivace styled wine (in Italian both names are used) and perfect food companion (pizza, salami, fat cheeses, fried chicken, etc). The Bonarda undergoes the first fermentation in cement tanks while the second fermentation to become a frizzante wine is made in inox vats. No added sulphites. Less than 3.000 bottles produced yearly.
