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.
San Giuseppe shows a more savory, coherent side of Oberto's Barbera — the acidity does all the talking, and it talks with real elegance.
