The Wine

Country of origin:

Italy

Region:

Piedmont

After the tragic death of Senior Bertolino, the Tenuta Olim Bauda winery spent 15 years in obscurity. Lying dormant like a great volcano that thankfully erupted in 2000 when three siblings revived the estate. Today it has been re-established as one of Piemonte's finest producers. 'Nizza' is a single-vineyard bottled only in exceptional vintages, and is the estate's top cuvée. It's absolutely majestic. Superbly polished and richly layered. Ripe cherry Bakewell characters, dried fig, chocolate and a great texture.

The Winemaker

Dino, Diana and Gianni Bertolino
Winemaker:

Dino, Diana and Gianni Bertolino

Tenuta Olim Bauda has been in the Bertolino family since the 1960's and was the jewel in the crown of their négociant business. Tragically Sr. Bertolino died in 1985 leaving 3 very young children and no-one to run the business. Overnight, the thriving winery closed down and for 15 years the fruit from their fantastic vineyards was sold to other producers. In 2000 the siblings decided to revive the estate's fortune and have since managed to re-establish Tenuta Olim Bauda as one of Piemonte's top producers.

"A deep purple wine. The nose is rich with complex perfume and red berry fruits that are peculiar to this grape variety. The palate is firm and full but balanced, and the finish is persistent and enticing." - Andrew Baker, Wine Buyer.

Undrinkable I'm afraid. Wouldn't even use it for cooking. Very acidic with a vinegar aftertaste. Perhaps it's corked? Would not expect it at this price.

If this were any more 'full-bodied' you would have to cut yourself a chunk rather than pour it! Wife loved it and feels it is one of the best we have tasted in ages. Think Amarone but with bigger and hairier balls.
