TREDIBERRI Barbera d’Alba 2023

Cellar Trediberri

Berri is a small hamlet in the westernmost part of La Morra, located in the Langhe hills of Piemonte, close to the Tanaro river. It lies at the extreme western edge of the Barolo region. Here, in 2007, Nicola, his father Federico and their friend Vladimiro, acquired 5 hectares circa (12.5 acres) exclusively for the production of Barolo. The Trediberri winery was born.

“Our first wine was released in 2011 and today we vinify wine from 10,5 ha (26 acres) of vineyards: in addition to the original 5 ha (12 acres) in the Berri Cru, we also own 2,8 ha (7 acres) in the Crus of Rocche dell’Annunziata and Torriglione – where we grow Barolo, Barbera and Sauvignon Blanc – and we are currently renting 3 ha (7,5 acres) of Dolcetto and Nebbiolo in Vicoforte, within the most southern village of Langhe Region, at the feet of the Alps. From 2012 until 2017 included, we had the privilege to cultivate another hectare of Nebbiolo for Barolo in the Capalot Cru, in La Morra. Unluckily, from 2018 that contract hasn’t been renewed.
We are a young, artisanal family winery.
We have no ancestral coat of arms depicting rampant horses and fluttering ensigns. We have no history and that is fine by us: we like talking about the present, through our wines.”

Winemaking

The grapes come from the Roero area and from our vineyards surrounding the hamlet Torriglione, next to the winery. Barbera is the only variety to whom we systematically apply a green harvest, in order to reduce the yields. Alcoholic fermentation happens in concrete and/or stainless steel and lasts around 12-15 days. Then malolactic takes place in concrete and/or stainless steel and cold stabilization happens outdoor or in conditioned steel tanks. After stabilization, the wine ages for some months in concrete, steel and plastic, before being bottled, usually in April-May of the year after the harvest.

Tasting Notes

Our Barbera is not smoothed by any oak aging and henceforth it is characterized by a bright acidity and a pretty high level of alcohol, if compared to the other Trediberri wines. This wine shows a full body and highlights a fruity character, rather than elegance and finesse. Its perfect pairing is the traditional Bollito misto (Boiled meat platter).
