Description
Trediberri translates in italiano as the three from Berri (a little hamlet of La Morra, the highest town in Barolo and renowned for wines of elegance and refinement).
Father and son team Frederico & Nicola Oberto and friend Vladimiro Rambaldi (a banker) make up the trio and back in 2008 they purchased 5ha of Berri vineyards in La Morra. Anna Rosa Oberto (wife/mother) is also hands on pruning vines fastidiously when not working at the post office. The Oberto family also have 2ha of one of premium Barolo cru: Rocche dell’Annunziata. Their new winery in the village of Torriglione overlooks the vineyard.
Nic Oberto oversees the winemaking at Trediberri with his father Federico (following his retirement from Renato Ratti after several decades) and Enologist Livio Taretto, and Nic’s fiancée Stefania Drocco, plays an increasingly important role in the overall Trediberri story. Since 2012 Trediberri winery has been certified by CCPB srl, Bologna as in conversion to organic.
From the winemakers: “Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata represents the heart of our winery, our baby. It comes from the parcels owned by Oberto family and it would like to fully express the characters of the terroir of La Morra: perfumes, elegance, drinkability. A wine meant for the long aging, full bodied, but enjoyable from now onwards.”
Stunning wine from the Rocche dell’Annunziata, the most renowned Cru from La Morra.
Andrew Jefford named Trediberri amongst his “Five Outstanding Barolo & Barbaresco Producers for Value” August ’15
About the 2019 vintage …Vintage 2019 began slowly with cool temperatures and rain events continuing well into April, making up for a dry winter. May and June continued cool and changeable, more in line with a ‘classic’ year than the more torrid conditions of late. Despite two heat waves which occurred late June-early July and then in late July, temperatures remained mild and sporadic rainfall kept growers vigilant. September began stormy with some hail in isolated areas causing largely minimal damage. Harvest began in Le Langhe with whites and dolcetto in mid-September, both showing great promise with a tendency towards elegance. Barbera also faired well with racy acidity and perfect ripeness but with lower alcohols. The nebbiolo harvest began mid-October, and immediately showed all the hallmarks of a ‘classic’ year – excellent tannin ripeness and balance, foretelling wines of structure with great aging potential.
Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2023 ‘2019 Barolo – Back on Track ’These are the finest wines I have tasted from Nicolà and Stefania Oberto. The 2019s are marked by a gorgeous feeling of transparency that has at times been elusive. Gentler winemaking and an increasing reliance on large-format oak are among the choices that inform these Barolos today. With young estates, quality is often driven more by work and progress over time rather than by the conditions of any given vintage. That is very much the case here. Readers will note the straight Barolo is now labelled Berri, the result of the winery losing its lease in Capalot and the devastating frost that wiped out virtually the entire crop at Torriglione.”
95 points, Antonio Galloni “The 2019 Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata is the best wine I have tasted yet from Nicola and Stefania Oberto. The biggest change here in recent years is the elimination of small oak in favor of casks, a move that really allows the full character of Rocche dell’Annunziata to come through. Dark cherry, kirsch, hard candy, rose petal and mint are all amplified in this gorgeous, translucent Barolo. A range of perfumed, floral accents lifts the intensely aromatic finish.”
