2016 Marco Bonfante "Albarone" 12lt. Balthazar Wooden Box
The 2016 Marco Bonfante "Albarone" is an impressive wine with an intense violet color. It has aromas of ripe cherry, plum, berries, and spices, along with a balsamic note. On the palate, it is powerful and smooth, featuring a rich concentration of fruit and a long finish with hints of blueberry and ripe plum sweetness. The Bonfante family has been making wines in Nizza Monferrato, Piedmont, for eight generations, specializing in Barbera d'Asti. The Marco Bonfante winery was founded in 2000 by siblings Micaela and Marco Bonfante after their father's passing. Marco, an Oenological School of Alba graduate, oversees production with the help of an oenologist and agronomist. Their winemaking philosophy focuses on elegance, balance, and harmony, with careful grape selection and vinification, including Nebbiolo, Barbera, Albarossa, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Brachetto. Aging in wood enhances the wine's structure without overpowering its character.
