Meaning 'I dare' in Italian, Oso is a fresh and vibrant Toscana IGT blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Syrah (approximately 60/20/20). Fruity aromas of juicy black cherry and blackberry meet sweet, spicy notes, finishing silky and medium-bodied — an approachable, everyday red from the estate.
'I dare' by name and fruit-driven by nature — Oso is the most playful, immediately drinkable wine in Castello di Albola's lineup.
