Bonarda vivace 'Vaiolet' Monsupello 2025

The Bonarda Vivace “Vaiolet” is a quality red wine that originates from the Oltrepò Pavese area, a wine-growing region where the Monsupello winery is located, a historic production reality that has been producing since 1893. It is a label with a highly drinkable profile, which, thanks to a slight residual sugar, delights the palate with an enticing taste. It’s worth keeping an eye on not only for its good quality level but also for its undeniably attractive price, a standout feature of a product that never disappoints!

The Bonarda Vivace “Vaiolet” is made from pure Croatina grapes, grown in the vineyards of Torricella Verzate, Redavalle, and Pietra de’ Giorgi, which are south-west facing. The vines, which are around 20 years old, are trained using the Guyot method and have roots in soil primarily composed of clay and silt. After a cold pre-maceration, the must undergoes alcoholic fermentation. Then, a refermentation in autoclave takes place, following the addition of sweet must, and the Bonarda is finally microfiltered and bottled.

This “Vaiolet” is a Bonarda Vivace that presents itself with a concentrated red color, enhanced by some more violet reflections at the rim. The olfactory spectrum is orchestrated around typically floral notes, from which emerge also slight hints of small red fruits. On the palate, it is young and winey, with a full sip that moves on a fresh tasting structure, encouraging repeated drinking; a slight residual sugar is also noticeable, very pleasant. A label with which the Monsupello winery provides us with a significant resource at the table, capable of pairing with a multitude of ingredients and preparations: try it with pizza, you won’t be disappointed!
