2021 Castello di Luzzano Sommossa Bonarda dell'Otrepo Pavese Vino Frizzante

From: Rovescala, Oltrepò Pavese, Lombardy, ItalyVarietal: Bonarda (Croatina)Taste: The glass displays a brilliant ruby-red hue with subtle violet reflections. On the nose, the wine bursts with aromas of ripe red cherries, wild raspberries, and plump blackberries, underpinned by delicate floral hints of violets and a faint touch of spice. With the frizzante’s gentle effervescence, the palate is lively and refreshing. Juicy flavors of red currants, cherry compote, and black plums, accompanied by subtle notes of baking spices and a whisper of licorice. The wine’s slight residual sugar balances the vibrant acidity. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, adding structure without overpowering the fruit-forward profile. The finish is smooth, clean, and lightly sweet, leaving lingering notes of crushed red berries and a refreshing touch of minerality. Pairing: A classic Margherita pizza with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil harmonizes with the wine’s bright acidity, while BBQ pork ribs
