 "There's fabulous richness to this Barbera, with coffee, prune and blackberry aromas that lead to a full body, with a solid core of ripe fruit, vanilla and jam. This is a real mouthful. Drink now."
–November 2009

WINE
2006 Oberto Barbera d'Alba Giada
Andrea Oberto

Deep ruby-red with bright violet hue. Powerful and elegant aroma with ripe notes of plum, blackberry, tobacco and coffee. Complex but harmonious in mouth; persistent and dry in the finish recalling polished and smooth tannins.

Winemaking: Manual harvesting of the overripe grapes in 20-kg perforated crates through a careful selection of the bunches; transfer in cellar within hours and light drying of the bunches for 24 hours. Grape crushing and de-stemming, and themo-controlled fermentation at around 34 °C, with often and soft pump-overs. Long maceration of the marcs (about 250 hours); racking in barriques, where the natural malolactic fermentation takes place.
