El Matt Bonarda Piemontese

You don't rarely see them, red wines made from pure Bonarda Piemontese juice. The winemakers who press wine from it can be counted on one hand. They come from the hills of Tortona in Piedmont. The idiosyncratic winemaker Daniele Ricci is one of them. He fermented his Bonarda on wild yeasts, matured for 12 months in acacia wood barrels and bottled it unfiltered. This produces a characteristic, fresh red wine. In the scent you will recognize cherries, blackcurrants, blackberries and violets. It tastes like fresh young cherries and blackcurrants. Elegant and drinkable, but be careful: the alcohol counter is quite high, even if you wouldn't say so.
