2009 LANGHE NEBBIOLO Andrea Oberto
2009 LANGHE NEBBIOLO Andrea Oberto
| Grapes: Nebbiolo | Origin: Italy, Piedmont |
Lea & Sandeman review
This 'baby Barolo' is from the younger vines across the estate, and given six months in used oak casks really shares many of the characteristics of Oberto's Barolos, with the advantages of being immediately drinkable and a great deal less expensive.Other reviews and comments
If you love Barolo but want something similar in style that's earlier drinking, Oberto's Nebbiolo shows typical Nebbiolo aromas with delicately juicy mulberry and raspberry sweet fruit, a hint of tobacco spice thanks to a light touch of oak, and some, but not a huge amount, of Nebbiolo's nicely grippy tannins.

The barolo grape in a more thirst quenching incarnation. This has freshness and fluency and its tannin prickles pleasingly on the tongue. Think roses and polished mahogany rather than roses and tar. Fabulous with veal saltimbocca, egg pasta with mushrooms or truffles.
Victoria Moore, The Daily Telegraph
With its spicy, perfumed air, this has a fair amount of tannin, but more than enough fruit to match.

This is about as serious as Langhe nebbiolo gets, dry but fragrant and beautifully balanced - more than half way to a Barolo, in fact.
