2012 Marco Bonfante Barbera d'Asti Superiore Menego 0,75 lt
The 2012 Marco Bonfante Barbera d'Asti Superiore Menego is a wine that presents an intense purple-red color in the glass. It offers rich aromas of cherry, blueberry, and marasca cherry, complemented by subtle wood notes from aging in French barriques. The Bonfante family has been crafting wines in Nizza Monferrato, Piedmont, for eight generations, in a region known for its Barbera d'Asti production, which earned the "Nizza DOCG" designation in 2014. The Marco Bonfante winery was established in 2000 by siblings Micaela and Marco Bonfante, following their father's passing and the division of the family winery. Marco, a graduate of the Oenological School of Alba, oversees the winemaking process, supported by an oenologist, an agronomist, and a certified analysis laboratory. Their production philosophy emphasizes elegance, balance, and harmony in red wines, with a focus on structure, fruit, and complexity. Grapes are carefully selected and processed based on their unique characteristics to achieve the desired outcome, ensuring that wood aging enhances rather than overshadows the wine's structure. Key red grape varieties include Nebbiolo, Barbera, Albarossa, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Brachetto.
