Barbera d’Alba

The Luigi Oddero estate’s exceptional Barbera d’Alba comes entirely from vineyards within close proximity to the old Parà facility in the Santa Maria sector of La Morra, primarily with a western exposition and averaging 25 years of age. Vinified in cement and aged in 70-hectoliter casks for one year, this wine demonstrates the same combination of traditionalism and precision as the Barolo. Proud, fresh acidity serves as a balance beam upon which savory red fruits leap and strut, and the wine displays a marked sense of liveliness. It’s a Barbera that deftly renders La Morra’s inherent elegance through its own varietal lens.
