2023 Cantine Bonelli Ortrugo Tradizionale

A new white wine for us, Cantine Bonelli is just about halfway between Piedmont and Lombardy in the Emilia-Romagna region of northeast Italy. The family has been making wines since the 1940s. Ortrugo is a light-skinned but surprisingly fleshy white variety that, in this case, produces a tasty and velvety white wine with peach notes, tart apples, and white flowers. This is our, spring is on its way, wine, and we can’t wait to sip it while the flowers grow and the trees go green again. Serve with shrimp ravioli, baked ocean trout with an herb crust, blue cheese, walnuts, and pear salad.
