Oltre is Italian for "in addition to." Oltre is a modern, 100 percent estate-grown wine combining the native Barbera and Nebbiolo varietals of the region with cabernet and merlot. Oltre made its debut with the 2006 vintage and is the only blended wine from this family-owned producer. The grapes come from the family’s 130 acres of vineyards. This wine is aged for 30 months, 50 percent in new mid-toasted French oak barrels from the Allier region and 50 percent in 20 to 50 hectoliter French casks. This is a wine for those who love Piedmont’s wines with an international touch.
