2018 Davide Carlone Colline Novaresi Croatina - Piedmont, Italy (750ml)

This 100% Croatina (aka Bonarda) is a rustic, light-to-medium-bodied red with crunchy red fruit, silky tannins and dry, earthy finish. Practicing organic, it undergoes an 8-10 day maceration followed by spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tank. A unique, off-the-beaten path crowd-pleaser, this versatile red pairs well with difficult dishes like tagliatelle with asparagus and sausage or moderately strong Italian cow’s milk cheese like Piave or Toma Piemontese.
