Bonarda vivace 'Mons Acutus' Piccolo Bacco dei Quaroni 2024

The “Mons Acutus” is a red wine where delicacy, authenticity, and straightforwardness come together as one, giving life to a lively sparkling and easy-drinking Bonarda, ideal for sharing with lifelong friends on informal occasions. A bottle that embodies the production philosophy of the Piccolo Bacco dei Quaroni winery, a reality from Oltrepò Pavese whose owner, Mario Cavalli, stands out for his commitment to bringing viticulture back into close contact with the territory; it may seem paradoxical, but too often the productions of wineries are influenced by industrial logic, which ends up subjugating artisanal practices. It is therefore with immense pleasure that one sips the “Mons Acutus,” a true champion of healthy peasant traditions.

This “Mons Acutus” is a lively Bonarda that the Piccolo Bacco dei Quaroni winery produces in line with its principles, aiming to propose sustainable and respectful viticulture in Oltrepò. The Croatina grapes, to which a pinch of Barbera is added, are cultivated according to organic practices, and, after the harvest, they ferment in steel at controlled temperature thanks to the use of indigenous yeasts, macerating briefly but intensely. They then undergo refermentation in autoclave, from which the sparkling effect is obtained, followed by bottling.

The lively Bonarda “Mons Acutus” from the Piccolo Bacco dei Quaroni winery presents itself in the glass with an intense ruby red color, with a sparkling, cheerful, and lively foam. The bouquet of aromas enveloping the nose is entirely played on fruity, light, and subtle notes. On the palate, it is smooth and lean-bodied, with a sip of pleasant freshness. This “Mons Acutus” is the ideal red to uncork during moments of pure conviviality, bringing joy and happiness to the table!
