Why do we love it?

PF Pie Franco Bobal 2019 Bodegas Ponce is the ultimate expression of Bobal, given in the most "natural" way. The purity of the fruit and its impressive complexity moved even Robert Parker who rated it 94 pts!

Bobal is a red Spanish variety native to Utiel-Requena and while the plantings are numerous it usually only participated in famous blends. In recent years, however, Juan Antonio Ponce has decided to deal with Bobal and promote the personality of the variety. He built his winery in Manchuela at the age of 23 and focused mainly on Bobal single-varietal bottlings, from old vines and different sites. His philosophy includes vinification of mild interventions that expresses both the Manchuela terroir and the character of the variety.

PF Pie Franco Bobal is probably the best wine made from 90-year-old vines! The wine was fermented with ambient yeasts, in whole bunches, in oak tanks of 4,500 liters. After that, it was transferred to 600-liter oak barrels where it matures for 10 months. The wine is bottled unfiltered and without any other intervention.

PF Pie Franco Bobal 2019 Bodegas Ponce is an incredible and elegant red wine to meet and love Bobal.

  • 1 portobello mushroom, finely chopped, after removing the stalk

Chop the bread into thick breadcrumbs. Place them in a bowl, add minced meat, 3 tablespoons of onion, finely chopped mushroom, 1 tablespoon of garlic, parsley, and egg white. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix well, until you get a homogeneous mixture. Divide into, approximately,  20 round meatballs and place them on a plate.

Put the pan on moderate heat and heat up some olive oil. Add the rest of the garlic and onion. Cook them for about 10 to 12 minutes by stirring occasionally until they are softened.

Add the meatballs and simmer, without stirring for about 10 minutes. Turn the meatballs and leave them for another 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package instructions in salted water. Serve the pasta by adding sauce, meatballs and as much parmesan as you like. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
