    Winery Overview

    The Andrea Oberto winery has humble origins. Farming began in 1959 when the Oberto family bought a farmhouse in La Morra, Piedmont. At the time, the farmers couldn’t survive by growing only vineyards, so they earned a living growing peaches and grapes and by raising cows. The children took part in the family business from when they were teenagers to help with the farm. However, when they became adults, they often had to leave home to look for work elsewhere because there wasn’t enough work for everyone in the family business. Looking for other work, Andrea, a second-generation family member, left La Morra to start working for a big company as a truck driver. In 1978, Andrea’s father died unexpectedly, so he inherited the family land and came home to manage the farm. Andrea left his job at the big company to dedicate the rest of his life to the vineyards he had worked in for so many years prior to moving away from La Morra. Over the years, the demand for high quality wine increased and this encouraged many farmers like Andrea to focus solely on growing grapes. By devoting his time and energy to the vines, Andrea transformed a small farm into a wine company with ~40 acres and a wine brand now sold all over the world. The bottle denominations are prestigious and typical of the area: Dolcetto, Barbera, Langhe Nebbiolo and Barolo. Andrea’s two cru Barolos are Barolo Albarella and Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata.

    Terroir

    Sandy soil.

    Viticulture

    Vineyard size is 0.8 ha with a southeast exposure. Training system is classic Guyot method with medium-short pruning.

    Vinification

    The super-ripe clusters are picked into ventilated 20kg boxes, after rigorous quality inspection, and brought to the cellar within a few hours from harvest. After de-stemming and pressing, 15% of the must is drawn off, the remainder is fermented at 34°C, with frequent but gentle pumpovers, followed by a lengthy maceration of 350 hours. The wine then goes to oak barrels for spontaneous malolactic fermentation.

    Aging

    26 months in oak barrels and barriques, 6 months in bottle

    Tasting Notes

    Bright garnet, with slight orangish tint. Lush, fleshy nose, with notes of China Calissaia bark, pipe tobacco and dried flowers. The palate exhibits fine structure and power, smoothed by a vein of acidity that makes for a delicious, easy-drinking wine.
