Montebuono 2016 75 cl Lino Maga

Called "Napoleon's wine", Montebuono Lino Maga is the iconic wine of Oltrepò Pavese.

"Produced on the hill of Montebuono in Broni. After the battle of Marengo, Napoleon stopped in Broni, drank it, found it excellent: since then the hill has also been called Monte Napoleone" (back label)

Son of the grapes of Ughetta, Croatina, Uva rara and Barbera, it grows with a spontaneous fermentation in oak barrels and maceration of 7/9 days, concluding its course towards bottling with a period ranging from 7 to 8 months of aging on the fine lees.

Montebuono di Lino Maga shows its notes of red fruit and black pepper, with an interesting rustic touch which, however, releases its juicy personality and well-balanced tannins in the mouth.

It likes at least an hour of fresh air before being savored, accompanied by a nice platter of cold cuts and cheeses or a second course of meat.
