A 20 megaton fruit-bomb from Italian winemaker Castello di Luzzano. The 120 hectare estatate, recently purchased by the Flying Fugazza sisters, Giovannella and Maria, lies in the Oltrepo Pavese DOC in Lombardy near the border with the region of Emilia-Romagna. Made of 100% Croatina (Bonarda), and aged entirely in stainless, this Italian wine is dark, ruby-red/purple in color with a beautiful young fruit nose. I was disappointed with the short length. (Thankfully, I have never heard that said of me - then again, I don’t hear that well.) The wines fantasy name is the nickname of winemaker Carlo Ferrari, who passed away a few years ago. The wines label is graced with a beautiful design taken from an 18th century vase found on the estate.
