The name Ottantuno, or 81, has much significance to the family, most importantly because it was the year the modern-day winery was founded. This limited production wine produced from 100% estate-grown fruit possesses
remarkable aromatic notes of fruit and spices, such as cherry, strawberry, nutmeg, clove, curry, and white pepper, with hints of chamomile and vanilla rounding out the bouquet. It is full and round on the palate with balanced elegance. Pair this age-worthy wine with game and steaks.

Rose and lavender aromas sing out in this fragrant red. Cherry, black currant, juniper and sage flavors add depth as this cruises to a lingering aftertaste of fruit, wild herb and floral notes. The vibrant structure lends support. Best from 2021 through 2037. 1,000 cases made, 300 cases imported.
