LANGHE NEBBIOLO
2023 Andrea Oberto
Grapes | Nebbiolo |
Colour | Red |

A wonderful array of wild roses, red fruits, cherries and strawberries, then underlying notes of truffle and mocha. This is classic Nebbiolo with gorgeous rich tannins framing a delicious palate of red fruit, tar, flowers and a hint of liquorice. Fresh and bold with that tell tale La Morra grace, but the family's gorgeous generosity of expression - that is found in all their wines. L&S (Oct 2024)

Andrea Oberto
A small family run winery and vineyard based in La Morra, The Obertos have sixteen hectares of vineyards and produce a brilliant 'village' Barolo from La Morra itself - as well as two other Barolos from different top 'crus' in this sought after village - Rocche dell'Annunziata in La Morra and Albarella in Barolo, just above Cannubi. The wines are beautifully focused and age well, although immensely approachable in their youth as there is a deliciously juicy and generous feel that runs through all the wines.
The winery’s history dates back to 1959, when Andrea's father bought a small-holding and farmhouse in La Morra. At that time farmers could not survive with just one crop, and so he earned a living growing peaches, grapes and raising cows. However, in the family business there was not enough work for everyone and so Andrea, decided to leave the farm and started working for a big company as truck driver. He came back (thankfully!) to La Morra in 1978 when his father died, inheriting the family’s land and taking on the management of the farm.He soon began to focus solely on vine growing. At the beginning the grapes were sold to cooperatives or even to friends and family. Andrea's talents soon became clear, he was a natural with a deft hand and a great palate. The small farm quickly morphed into a wine company with sixteen hectares of their own wines and a brilliant cellar.
When we visited the family in the Autumn of 2021 Andrea was rightfully full of optimism and enthusiasm. On the subject of these latest releases Andrea tells us that because of some recent big ticket vintages proving great hits with the press, it is hard to throw the spotlight of lesser celebrated years - however good they are! But we can confirm Andrea has not put a foot wrong and these latest releases are pure joy.
