TREDIBERRI Rocche dell’Annunziata Barolo 2021

The Trediberri Winery

Berri is a small hamlet in the westernmost part of La Morra, close to the Tanaro river and thus at the far west of the Barolo zone. There, in 2007, Nicola, his father Federico, and their friend Vladimiro purchased 5 hectares destined for the exclusive production of Barolo. The Trediberri winery was born, meaning the “three from Berri.” Nicola Oberto is a force of nature: born in 1985, he appears as a seasoned winemaker with very clear ideas, thanks also to his father Federico, who collaborated for years with Renato Ratti and Massimo Martinelli.
On the market since 2011, they now vinify 8 hectares of vineyards: in addition to the 5 hectares in the Berri cru, they own about 2 hectares in the Rocche dell’Annunziata and Torriglione crus – where they produce Barolo, Barbera, and Sauvignon Blanc – and rent about one hectare of Nebbiolo for Barolo in the Capalot cru, also in La Morra. Farming is highly sustainable, despite the decision to forgo certification due to limits imposed on the use of copper.

The winery is now noted not only for wines of rare quality but also for an unmistakable style that enhances the vineyards of origin and the most intriguing characteristics of La Morra.
A young, artisanal, family-run winery, without coats of arms featuring prancing horses or unfurled flags. They have no history, but that is fine: they speak of the present through their wines.

Vinification

Vinification of grapes from La Morra, MGA Rocche dell’Annunziata, from parcels planted in 1955, 1961, and 1999. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in concrete and lasts about 12-14 days. This is followed by a post-fermentation maceration of approximately 12-15 days, resulting in skin-to-juice contact of about 4 weeks. After racking, malolactic fermentation occurs in wood, and aging lasts for about 20 months in 25 HL and 52 HL Garbellotto casks. After wood aging, the wine is transferred for a few months to concrete, steel, or fiberglass before being bottled, usually between July and August of the year preceding its market release.

Tasting Notes

Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata is the heart of our winery, the wine we are most attached to. It comes from parcels owned by the Oberto family and, in our opinion, best represents what Barolo from La Morra can offer: aromas, elegance, and drinkability. It offers floral hints with subtle balsamic notes. A wine destined for long aging, dense and rich yet enjoyable immediately. Ideal with aged cheeses, Barolo-braised beef, and wild game.
