Tenuta Olim Bauda was established in 1961 by Agostino Bertolino, who purchased the historic mansion in the heart of Monferrato. The name Bauda refers to the family that originally owned the property, dating back to 1220. Now in the hands of Agostino’s children Dino, Diana and Gianni, the estate comprises about 100ha in all, of which one third is planted with vines; all production is certified organic. La Villa is made of 100% Barbera grown on mainly sandy clay marl soils, the wine fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. Michelle Cherutti-Kowal MW: Lovely aromas of red cherry and green tea leaf. Dense fruit concentration, tannins balanced with the acidity and body. A great glass of wine. Jason Millar: Juicy, tangy and fresh, with red fruits, hints of tomato and a sour lick that’s varietally honest. Nice acids and good crunch. Digestible. Great Asti style, and nice to see it do well. Stefan Neumann MS: Good, soft style with some firm dark fruit grip on the mid-palate, balanced by dark plum, a hint of smoke and earth, along with a touch of spice.
