バローロ
Barolo
RedNebbiolo
The estate's classic village-level Barolo, blended from three vineyard parcels in La Morra with southwest exposure. Hand-harvested Nebbiolo undergoes thermo-controlled fermentation with an extended maceration of roughly 300 hours, then ages about 24 months in a mix of large oak botti and barriques followed by 6 months in bottle. The result is an intense, still-bright garnet-red wine with fruit aromas underscored by lively acidity, notes of tar, tanned leather and graphite emerging with air, polished tannins and firm structure — a faithful, entry-point expression of the house style.
バローロ ロッケ・デッラヌンツィアータ
Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata
RedNebbiolo
A single-vineyard Barolo from the celebrated Rocche dell'Annunziata cru in La Morra, one of the most storied crus in the entire Barolo zone. From a 0.8-hectare, southeast-facing parcel trained in classic Guyot, the wine ferments at around 34°C with gentle, frequent pumpovers and a long maceration of roughly 350 hours, then ages about 26 months in oak barrels and barriques plus 6 months in bottle. It shows a lush, fleshy nose of China Calissaia bark, pipe tobacco, dried flowers, plum and cedar, with fine structure and power smoothed by bright acidity — elegant, complex, and built for the cellar.
バローロ アルバレッラ
Barolo Albarella
RedNebbiolo
A single-vineyard Barolo from the Albarella cru in the commune of Barolo, from a densely planted, meticulously pruned 0.8-hectare parcel located just below the famous Cannubi vineyard, with which it shares a southwest exposure and clay soils. The wine offers a lush, fleshy nose of spice and dark chocolate over plush, forward fruit, with licorice and bright cola notes on the finish, fine tannins and a bright, juicy red-fruit core of poached and spiced red cherries and plums.
バローロ ブルナーテ
Barolo Brunate
RedNebbiolo
A single-vineyard Barolo from Brunate, one of the most historically prestigious crus in La Morra, straddling the border with the Barolo commune. Andrea Oberto's rendition shows great aromas of plums, cedar, chocolate and spice with tar notes, full body, soft and round tannins and a long finish, alongside the brown-spice and balsamic, tobacco tone typical of the cru. Note: most independent critic notes on record for this bottling are from vintages in the late 2000s and early 2010s, so current-vintage availability should be confirmed directly with the estate or its importers.
バルベーラ・ダルバ ジャーダ
Barbera d'Alba Giada
RedBarbera
A more structured, single-vineyard-style Barbera d'Alba from La Morra, aged 20 months in new wood followed by 6 months in bottle, from around 5,500 bottles of production. The nose offers dried plum, wild blackberry, roast espresso bean and pipe tobacco; the palate is multilayered but superbly balanced, with a lengthy, dry finish lined with glossy tannins.
バルベーラ・ダルバ サン・ジュゼッペ
Barbera d'Alba San Giuseppe
RedBarbera
A single-vineyard Barbera d'Alba from the San Giuseppe parcel, deep and brilliant purple-red in color. The nose is spacious, offering generous oak well integrated with spice, dried plum and bottled cherry impressions. The palate has firm acidity that ensures savouriness and length, continuity with the aromatics of the nose, alcoholic warmth, toasty oak and ripe berry and fruit-preserve character, showing elegance and coherence across its components.
