PIO CESARE 07 L'OLTRE ROSSO
Tasting Notes - '"Good deep, bright red. Currants, black raspberry and dark chocolate aromas accented by tobacco and graphite; a bit international in style. Then supple and savory in the mouth, showing sound acidity and the cut of the year. Finishes with fairly light tannins, a slight bitter note from the oak and nice grip." (Tanzer)"Oltre" is Italian for "in addition to." In addition to Barbera grape variety, this wine is produced with Nebbiolo and a small ammount of Cabernet and Merlot grapes grown in their family-owned vineyards in the Barolo and Barbaresco areas. This is a mondern, 100 percent estate-grown wine. This wine is aged for 30 months, 50 percent in new mid-toasted French oak barrels from Allier region and 50 percent in 20 to 50 hectoliter French casks.
