Collio Rosso Ouverture 2021
Ouverture 2021 is a red Collio DOC that comes from our longest-standing vineyard in the small hamlet of Novali di Cormòns, next to the historic forest of oaks, robinias, chestnuts, but also wild hazelnuts, black alders, birches, ferns. The Merlot variety plant dates back to 1969 and today follows the regulations of integrated voluntary control in full respect of environmental sustainability. The wine appears an intense ruby red. Notes of violet and red fruit open up on the nose. The sip is soft, complex, in which fruity sensations of blackberry and blueberry and hints of elegant toasting are found.

The freshness that cleanses the palate: more acidity, a livelier sip.
TanninsPersimmon
The astringency that dries the mouth, from the skins' tannins — like an unripe persimmon.
PersistenceStopwatch
How long the flavours linger after the sip: the length on the palate.
AlcoholWhiskey
The warmth and body of alcohol: the higher it is, the warmer and fuller the wine.
SoftnessHot chocolate
The enveloping roundness on the palate, without edges — soft as hot chocolate.
The story
Tenuta Della Casa was born at the end of the last century in Novali, in a land of agriculture, wines and borders located between the hills of the Collio Cormonese and the Preval plain. Founded by Umberto Della Casa and Adele Barbieri, now managed by their son Renato, the estate has grown over the years with the aim of preserving the biodiversity that surrounds it and is part of it through the cultivation of native and resistant vines, and to become a point of aggregation by offering hospitality, educational activities and cultural events.
The producer
Tenuta Della Casa
La valorizzazione del Collio e del Preval, territori in cui vivono le nostre vigne, viene perseguita attraverso la custodia dell’equilibrio della biodiversità, la produzione di vini da sole uve in perfetta armonia col territorio e una continua ricerca di evoluzione nel mondo vitivinicolo.
The oenological desire is to produce elegant, refined and authentic wines, capable of faithfully reflecting the territory and "its" fruits, respecting it through great attention to sustainability, in the countryside as in the cellar. The tanks (otherwise called wineskins), all in non-vitrified concrete, represent a decisive distinctive element, not only in the production process but also in the olfactory profile of the individual products.
