The Bonarda DOC "La Brughera" from Giorgi winery is an excellent example of how the Croatina grape can express itself masterfully in the Oltrepò Pavese region. This wine is the result of a careful selection of the best grapes, grown on clay soils which give the wine a robust structure and a unique profile.
Visually, "La Brughera" presents itself with an intense ruby red color, enhanced by violet reflections that testify to its freshness and youth. The visual appeal is just the beginning, as the real sensory journey occurs on the nose and palate. The aromatic bouquet is dominated by fruity notes of plum and blackberry, with light hints of cherry in spirits, typical of the Croatina grape. These are complemented by spicy hints of vanilla and black pepper, resulting from expert aging in wooden barrels.
On the palate, Bonarda DOC "La Brughera" reveals itself to be pleasantly complex: its balanced acidity perfectly complements a non-overpowering tannicity. The wine offers a medium-full palate, with a persistent finish that returns to the fruity and spicy tones perceived on the nose.
Ideal for pairing with dishes from traditional cuisine, such as mushroom risottos or game, "La Brughera" is also perfect with aged cheeses. It is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 16-18°C to fully appreciate its qualities.
Giorgi winery, with its long experience and dedication to the Oltrepò Pavese territory, has managed to create a wine with Bonarda DOC "La Brughera" that expresses the richness and liveliness of the Italian winemaking tradition.
