Description

Allow me to introduce you to a delightful gem from the heart of Lombardy: the Bonarda dell'Oltrepò Pavese Frizzante from Le Vie dell'Uva. This isn't just another wine; it's a vibrant expression of the Oltrepò Pavese terroir, crafted with passion and a deep respect for tradition. The Oltrepò Pavese region, nestled in the rolling hills south of the Po River, is Lombardy's largest wine-producing area. It's a land where viticulture has thrived for centuries, and Bonarda (known locally as Croatina) reigns supreme. Le Vie dell'Uva, a dedicated winery, embraces the unique character of this region, producing wines that are both authentic and incredibly enjoyable. This Bonarda is a testament to their dedication.

What sets this wine apart is its 'frizzante' style – a gentle sparkle that dances on the tongue, making it incredibly refreshing and approachable. The Bonarda grape offers a captivating profile of juicy red fruit, think ripe cherries, raspberries, and a hint of plum, creating a symphony of flavors that is both vibrant and balanced. On the palate, this wine is dry, which allows the fruit to shine through. The gentle bubbles enhance the wine's freshness, leading to a clean and satisfying finish. It is a wine that awakens the senses and invites you to savor every sip.

But this wine is more than just a delicious drink. It's an experience, a journey to the heart of Lombardy. It speaks of sun-drenched vineyards, passionate winemakers, and a rich cultural heritage. It pairs perfectly with a wide range of dishes. Its light body and refreshing acidity make it an excellent accompaniment to cured meats like salami and prosciutto, as well as hearty cheeses like Grana Padano. It's also a fantastic partner for simple pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces or grilled vegetables. For a truly authentic experience, try it with the local specialty, 'agnolotti alla pavese,' a type of filled pasta. The wine's acidity cuts through the richness of the pasta, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. Serve it chilled around 14°C to fully appreciate its refreshing character. Pop the cork, pour a glass, and let the Bonarda dell'Oltrepò Pavese Frizzante transport you to the beautiful hills of Lombardy. Enjoy!
