Cortese Colli Tortonesi, Oltretorrente 2019

Located in Paderna, in the Tortonesi Hills, Oltretorrente was founded in 2010 By Michele Conoscente and Chiara Penati. Their original purchase of wine cellar and 5 ha vineyards was augmented by two hectares of 90+ year old vineyards, belonging to elderly neighbours, which they jumped into save from being uprooted. Their philosophy is simply to preserve these ancient vineyards with a commitment to organic viticulture and low intervention.

Its bouquet is fruity and floral, with flavors of peach, apricot and broom. A mineral perception emerges in the nose as well as in the mouth, where it binds to freshness and finishes a very full body.
