2016 Marco Bonfante "Bricco Nizza" Riserva 3lt. Jeroboam
The 2016 Marco Bonfante "Bricco Nizza" Riserva is a striking wine with an intense purple color and hints of violet. It features aromas of ripe cherry and plum, along with subtle wood notes. This rich, full-bodied wine offers exceptional fruit concentration and a long, pleasant finish with gradual sweetness. The Bonfante family has been making wines in Nizza Monferrato, Piedmont, for eight generations, focusing on Barbera d'Asti, which received the "Nizza DOCG" designation in 2014. The winery was founded in 2000 by siblings Marco and Micaela Bonfante after their father's passing. Marco, an oenology graduate, oversees production with the help of a consultant oenologist and agronomist. The winery aims for elegance in its wines, balancing structure, fruit, acidity, and alcohol, while aging in wood enhances the wine's structure without overpowering it. Key red grape varieties used include Nebbiolo, Barbera, Albarossa, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Brachetto.
