Festa del Bonarda

The Festa del Bonarda in Rovescala celebrates one of the most representative wines of the Oltrepò Pavese, a hilly region steeped in centuries of winemaking tradition. Bonarda, produced predominantly from Croatina grapes, embodies the winemaking excellence of the area and is distinguished by its extraordinary vivacity and freshness. During the festival, visitors have the opportunity to discover and taste this red wine with its intense red fruit aromas and solid structure, accompanied by the finest local gastronomic products.

This event is far more than a simple wine celebration—it's a genuine journey into Pavese wine culture. Local wineries open their doors to offer guided tastings, while traditional Piedmontese and Oltrepò dishes showcase the organoleptic characteristics of Bonarda. Among the gastronomic specialties are traditional cured meats, local cheeses, and truffle-based dishes, creating the perfect pairing with this celebrated sparkling wine.

It's an unmissable occasion for Italian wine enthusiasts, food and wine tourists, and anyone seeking to immerse themselves in the convivial atmosphere of local traditions. The Festa del Bonarda represents the beating heart of Rovescala's cultural identity and that of the entire Oltrepò Pavese region.
