Oltretorrente Colli Tortonesi Rosso

The 2021 Oltretorrente Colli Tortonesi Rosso is a special red wine crafted by Chiara Penati and Michele Conoscente, a husband - wife team. In 2010, these two Milanese agronomists started their venture. They bought 1.5 hectares of vines in Paderna, a village in the Tortona hills of southeast Piedmont, an area with only 30 wine - bottling estates. The grapes come from vines aged between 15 and 100 years. This blend of Barbera and Dolcetto offers a unique taste with notes of black cherry and stewed plums, along with hints of tobacco and dried herbs. 'Oltretorrente' means 'Countercurrent' or 'Beyond the Stream', fitting for this one - of - a - kind wine.

To enjoy this 2021 Oltretorrente Colli Tortonesi Rosso, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes before serving. Pour it into a wide - bowl glass to enhance the aroma. It pairs well with red meats, pasta with rich tomato - based sauces, and hard cheeses. Store the opened bottle in the refrigerator and consume it within 2 - 3 days. When storing unopened bottles, keep them in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and strong vibrations.
