Andrea Oberto Barbera 2007 -- Unwined Online Shopping Cart
$16.99
-- Dark, juicy Barbera from Northwest Italy
This medium-bodied, lovely red is from the Piedmont region of Northern Italy
and Barbera is the name of the grape as well as the wine. This
particular Barbera is from two vineyards one in La Morra that is South
East facing and one in Barolo that is South West facing. The wine is
aged primarily in stainless steel tanks for 8 months with about 15% of
the wine seeing oak for approximately six months.
Andrea Oberto owns 8 hectares of perfectly exposed vineyards in the
commune of La Morra of which 7 hectares of vineyards are planted with
Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto vines.
Oberto has adopted organic
farming methods with hard pruning in winter and bunch thinning in the
summer to reduce yields to no more than 5 or 6 bunches per vine in good
vintages and 3 or 4 bunches in less good years. This equals just over 1
bottle of wine per plant in a good vintage.
Oberto’s adoption of
avant garde winemaking techniques and maturation exclusively in French
oak, means that all his wines have great elegance,
suppleness and precision of fruit flavours.
