Monferrato Rosso 'Duedidue' byi Marco Bonfante embodies in its meaning the diversity of the two grape varieties that complement each other, enhancing the characteristics of one and the other: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Albarossa. Intense spicy aromas of red fruits and peppers that combine well with a delicate hint of vanilla due to aging in barrique. When tasted it is structured, enveloping, with a good tannic note given by the Cabernet and Albarossa. The excellent balance between acidity, body and alcohol means this wine can be stored for over 15 years. With long aging in the bottle, complex tertiary aromas of cocoa and coffee will be discovered.

Bonfante family has been producing wines in Nizza Monferrato (AT), Piedmont, for eight generations, in an area that represents the area of excellence for the production of Barbera d'Asti and which in 2014 obtained the "Nizza DOCG" denomination. It is a family-run business. The owner Marco Bonfante, graduated from the Oenology school of Alba, is an oenologist and deals with all-round production and company management. He is assisted by the oenologist consultant Gianluca Scaglione, the agronomist Daniele Eberle and his sister Micaela Bonfante who takes care of the administrative management and logistical organisation. The company offers an image of quality and seriousness, thanks to hard work, in Italy and especially abroad. A few harvests were enough for it to become a highly representative reality of this territory. In fact, the best grapes from other areas of the region are added to the Nizza Monferrato plants, which contribute to a rich and versatile range representative of the most prestigious denominations of southern Piedmont. The grapes produced come from managed vineyards and from selected vineyards, thanks to an intense and flourishing "nègoce" activity. All cultivation operations are followed by the company agronomist until harvesting. Thinning (also called green harvest) is carried out in the vineyard in order to reduce the production of the plant and improve the quality of the grapes.
