When you think of the Oltrepò Pavese area,
you think of Bonarda-wine, the most typical wine of
our territory, with its bright and sunny effervescence
and its fruity flavour which opens the door to the
most savoury dishes of our traditional cuisine…
It was the TALENTO D’ORO (Golden Talent) which
was awarded to the La Genisia’s Bonarda –
1999 vintage, in sign of considering it “the
best Bonarda in 2001”, during the most important
oenological local Contest, the only one to have authorization
to release “Distinctions” on behalf of
the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Of 251 anonymous
samples which were presented, only 18 received a “Talent”,
and one of them was the Bonarda-wine of Torrevilla’s
La Genisia, which you can find in every good restaurant
in the area, where good food is always combined with…the
better wines.
