It reflects an older idea of Piedmont: less varietal purity, more vineyard identity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe vines range from 30 to 60 years of age and grow on calcareous-clay and limestone soils, with both northern and southern exposures bringing freshness, ripeness, and balance. The wine macerates on the skins for around one month in concrete tanks, then ages for 6 months in concrete, preserving fruit, acidity, and the direct character of the site.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the glass, it shows a bright ruby-red colour. The nose is lively and expressive, with notes of red cherry, wild berries, plum, violets, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is fresh, juicy, and savoury, with Barbera’s natural acidity at the core, supported by fine tannins and a clean, rustic-mineral finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA vibrant, old-vine Piedmontese red built around drinkability, freshness, and vineyard complexity rather than weight or oak.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerfect with salumi, pasta with ragù, roasted vegetables, grilled meats, and everyday regional cooking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eServe: 16–18 °C\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2024–2030\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bricchi and Barrett","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47779849961623,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/2899\/5223\/files\/oltret2.png?v=1779757152","url":"https:\/\/bricchiandbarrett.com.au\/products\/2023-oltretorrente-colli-tortonesi-rosso","provider":"Bricchi and Barrett","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
