Silvert & Saibene Wines, LLP

About the Wine:

 

This outstanding Bonarda is elaborated from a special selection of vines that are over 40 years old. Bonarda was once a very popular wine making a comeback.  This Bonarda is a memorable wine with good structure, balanced tannins, and delicate toasted aromas from the oak barrels in which it was aged for 16 months.  A fantastic dinner wine.
