Calatroni Bonarda Dell'Oltrepò Pavese 2012

Oltrepò Pavese, Lombardy, ItalyBonarda Dell'Oltrepò Pavese is a relatively new DOC, approved since 2010 and to recognize single-varietal bottling in northern Italy's Oltrepò Pavese. Here, the local name for bonarda is coatina, and expressed through a rustic, earnest lens. Ripe juicy plum, young blackcurrant, bright lithe florals, subtle grape jelly, pink peppercorn spicing wraps around a round core, one sheathed in grippy, bitter-ringed tannins. Charming, easy. Have a go with pizza bianco with porcetta, or charcuterie.Tasted: 29 September 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
