WINE DESCRIPTION
Andrea Oberto Barbera d'Alba is a premium red wine produced by the renowned winemaker Andrea Oberto in the Barbera d'Alba appellation of Piedmont, Italy. The wine is made from the Barbera grape variety, which is known for its rich and intense flavors. The vineyards where the grapes are grown are situated on the hillsides of the Langhe region, which provides ideal conditions for the grapes to ripen and develop their full potential. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a full-bodied and complex red with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of oak. It is a perfect match for hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Andrea Oberto Barbera d'Alba is a full-bodied red wine with tart and juicy notes of cherry and raspberry, balanced by a good amount of acidity and light tannins.On the nose, it is fragrant with aromas of blackberry, spice, and a hint of earthiness. The palate is surprisingly smooth and harmonious, with a good finish. It is a great accompaniment to Italian cuisine, especially pasta and pizza. Enjoy this delightful wine now or cellar it for a few years to let the flavors develop and mature.
