- Oseleta belongs to the group of “uve uccelline” (bird grapes) in Italy, named for the sweet berries beloved by birds.
- This grape is remarkably versatile and resilient, thriving in various growing conditions.
- Known for its exceptional power and robust tannic structure, Oseleta offers a native alternative to using Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot as blending components in Valpolicella and Amarone wines.
Genuine Oseleta wines are a rarity, owing to the grape’s limited juice yield. However, when encountered, monovarietal Oseleta exemplifies excellence. Characterized by vivid hues of bright red and black fruits, these wines exude a remarkable depth of flavor. While they typically boast a tannic backbone, they never stray into the realm of greenness or excessive astringency, ensuring a harmonious and gratifying tasting experience.
