Description

Bonarda 1971 Berteletti is a red wine from Lombardy, Italy, produced by Berteletti, a winery known for crafting expressive wines from the traditional Bonarda grape. This 1971 vintage showcases the varietal’s classic charm, with soft fruit character, gentle tannins, and subtle tertiary complexity developed over decades of careful aging.

Tasting Notes:
The wine displays a garnet-red color with brick-orange highlights at the rim, characteristic of a mature Bonarda. The bouquet is nuanced and layered, featuring aromas of dried red cherries, plums, and hints of wild berries, complemented by tertiary notes of leather, soft spice, and earthy undertones. Gentle aeration reveals subtle balsamic and mineral nuances, enhancing depth and sophistication.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied with smooth, integrated tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is elegant and persistent, highlighting dried fruits, delicate spices, and soft earthy tones, reflecting both careful maturation and the expressive character of Lombardy Bonarda.

Serving & Food Pairing:
Serve at around 16–18°C.

Pairs beautifully with roasted or braised meats, game, hearty pasta dishes, mushroom risottos, and medium-aged cheeses. Its balance and aromatic depth also make it rewarding to enjoy on its own.

Producer:
Berteletti is recognized for producing wines that preserve the freshness, elegance, and authenticity of Bonarda while allowing them to evolve gracefully with age. The 1971 vintage demonstrates the winery’s dedication to traditional Lombard winemaking and the expressive potential of this historic varietal.
