Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: Aromas of hawthorn, fleshy white-stone fruit, strawberry and a yeasty whiff of pastry dough form the nose. Bright and tangy, the palate offers apricot, yellow apple and orange zest alongside crisp acidity and a lively, refined mousse.

• Wilfred Wong: The Tenuta Il Bosco Oltrenero Brut is elegant, refined, and beautifully balanced. TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits lively beads that lead into palate flavors of light minerality and a suggestion of ripe fruit and nuttiness.

Producer Information

Tenuta Il Bosco is situated in the Oltrep Pavese, the area of choice for the legendary Pinot Nero variety in Italy. The origins of Tenuta Il Bosco date back to the Middle Ages, when Benedictine monks restored life to the land here following a period of abandonment. Vines have been grown in the Oltrep Pavese for a very long time indeed, with the first written documents referring to them dating back to Pliny and to Strabo who, 40 years before Christ, passing through the area with a Roman legion wrote about the good wine, hospitable population and very large wooden barrels. It was in this zone, also known as Old Piedmont, that sparkling wines were first produced in Italy at the end of the 19th century. The great quality of Pinot Noir yields aristocratic sparkling wines produced in the Classic, or Traditional Method, where the second fermentation takes place in the bottle.
