"Readers who have not discovered these wines owe it to themselves to do so. Not only are the wines brilliant, they also remain very fairly priced." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
Barolo's traditions run deep and so do the established legacies of the region's most acclaimed names, so it's rare to see young upstarts gain a real foothold and make a name for themselves without riding the coattails of a previous generation. Enter Nicola and Stephania Oberto, a young couple that are at the forefront of Barolo's small but mighty next wave.
Based in La Morra, the estate owns parcels in prime sites including Rocche dell'Annunziata, but until the 2016 vintage, they had always sold off all their fruit. With that auspicious campaign as their jumpstart, the Obertos have taken their wines on one of Barolo's great upward trajectories. Highly acclaimed across the board and now highly sought-after and allocated, Trediberri's range is always hard to keep in stock, which makes today's 2021 offer one that no serious Piedmont fan should miss.
While the entry-level Langhe Nebbiolo and Barbera d'Alba are thoroughly compelling in their own right, the 2021 Barolo Berri shows the estate's true potential. The impressive critical line leads with 97 points from Wine Enthusiast and is replete with glowing praise from all corners. Galloni calls the 2021 Berri "striking in its beauty," pointing to a Barolo of real finesse and sense of place. We can't overstate how rare it is for us to be able to offer these wines in any kind of volume, so any savvy Italian collector should be quick to jump on board while they can. |
