Andrea Oberto
アンドレア・オベルト
Elegant, terroir-driven Barolo from La Morra's finest crus.
Located in La Morra, the heart of the Barolo region, Andrea Oberto is a family-run winery whose roots trace back to 1959, when Andrea's father purchased a small farmhouse and land. Andrea inherited the estate in 1978 and began bottling wines under his own name instead of selling grapes to cooperatives. Today, working alongside his son Fabio, the estate farms roughly sixteen hectares of vineyards and produces around 125,000 bottles a year, focused on Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto. Andrea Oberto is best known for its elegant, terroir-driven Barolo bottlings from the celebrated crus of Rocche dell'Annunziata and Brunate in La Morra, alongside Albarella in the commune of Barolo, plus a classic village-level Barolo. The house style, once decidedly modern with heavy new-oak use, has moved toward a more measured combination of large botti and barrique since the mid-2000s, yielding wines of polish and structure that still speak clearly of their origin in the Langhe hills.
