Trediberri Barolo Berri DOCG 2019

Trediberri is a winery located in La Morra that was established by Nicola Oberto, his father Federico, and his friend Vladimiro. In 2007, they acquired 5 hectares of vineyards in the MGA Berri, which is the origin of the winery's name. Trediberri's wines have become popular since their first vintage in 2011, thanks to their fresh and immediate style that highlights the fruit and drinkability of the wines. They have moved away from the traditional notion of Barolo being a wine with a strong structure but not very smooth in the mouth. Trediberri currently cultivates around 8 hectares of vineyards in La Morra, including Rocche dell'Annunziata, Berri, Capalot, and Torriglione, which produce Barolo, Langhe Nebbiolo, Barbera d'Alba, and Langhe Sauvignon.

Trediberri Barolo Berri DOCG 2019 is a wine that showcases the unique flavours of La Morra's MGA Berri and MGA Capalot vineyards. The wine is made using a meticulous vinification process, with alcoholic fermentation taking place in concrete and lasting around 12-14 days, followed by a 6-7 day post-fermentative maceration. Total skin-juice contact is around 3 weeks, and then malolactic fermentation occurs in oak. The wine is aged for approximately 20 months in 52-hl and 25-hl oak barrels crafted by Garbellotto. After aging, the wine rests for several months in concrete, steel, and plastic before being bottled, usually in July-August of the year before the release.

The 2019 Barolo Berri is tightly wound and austere in the early going, with crushed red berry fruit, iron, dried herbs, and white pepper giving the wine a striking aromatic top register. The tannins are a bit nervy, so a few years in bottle are warranted.
