Sparkling red wine
It was the end of January 1943, the Russian campaign had ended dramatically, and among the soldiers waiting to be repatriated was Luigi Calatroni. He had to reach his home town as quickly as possible. At stake was a contract that had been handed down from father to son for three generations and had to be signed so that Luigi could become a sharecropper. Armed with his tenacity, between long walks, underground trains, wagons and makeshift vehicles, in two months he crossed half of Europe, from Leningrad (now St Petersburg) to Montecalvo Versiggia.
To Luigi - known as Vigiö - we have dedicated this Bonarda from pure Croatina grapes, cultivated with the same tenacity with which he was able to obtain what he wanted. Macerated about 7 days on the skins, naturally re-fermented, it is a Bonarda with structure, tannic and austere, with a rich and decisive nose. To be drunk with local dishes, cured meats, stuffed pasta or even a tasty boiled meat. To enjoy the pleasantness of the bubble we recommend serving it at 14 °C.
The Bonarda project
Bonarda Vigiö is part of the Bonarda project, devised and promoted by the Distretto del Vino di Qualità dell'Oltrepò Pavese (Quality Wine District of the Oltrepò Pavese area) to promote the territory's most typical wine. The project is publicised on social media with the hashtag #laMossaPerfetta.
The project envisages a production regulation that is much more restrictive than that of Bonarda DOC and a bottle with a special shape (called Marasca) that can only be used by companies associated with the District.
When you drink #laMossaPerfetta you are guaranteed to drink a wine produced by companies that grow the grapes in their own vineyards, vinify them in their own cellars and market the wine made from those grapes directly.
