2019 Colli Tortonesi Rosso (Oltretorrente)Oltretorrente, Colli Tortonesi Rosso, Veneto, Italy 2019 {organic} 90% Barbera, 10% Dolcetto (co-planted and co-fermented with small amounts of Croatina, Freisa, Slarina, Brachetto & Aleatico) ZIPPY RASPBERRIES, TONS OF FUN, ELECTRIC! In 2010, after years of working in larger wineries, Chiara Penati and her husband purchased a tiny, 1.5 hectare vineyard in the hills of Tortona, a little known pocket of the Italian Piedmont. They farm their land organically and make their wine naturally – and only about 2,000 cases a year of it. This Barbera-based field blend, which also includes Dolcetto and several other local red grapes, is fantastically fresh with an exciting energy almost reminiscent of Lambrusco – minus the bubbles. Serving Suggestion: Porchetta – classic Italian sandwich – slow roasted pork on ciabatta roll w/ peppers & greens. Wood-fired Neopolitan pizza w/ San Marzano tomatoes & Buffalo Mozzarella.$21.99 each |
