Bonarda dell'Oltrepò Pavese DOC
La Briccona
Semi-sparkling red wine
The semi-sparkling (frizzante) Bonarda is one of the most popular Oltrepò Pavese wines and the favourite of my mother Patrizia, nicknamed as “la briccona” (Italian for “rascal”) for her lively temper. She’s the pivotal figure of our family just like this Bonarda is the pivotal wine of our winery. This semi-sparkling Bonarda combines rich tannins with the soft sweetness of the residual sugar.
