Trediberri Barbera d’Alba DOC 2023
The Wine
Trediberri Barbera d’Alba is the result of the blend of 2 different vineyards: 40% from La Morra, from a 40-year-old & east-faced vineyard in front of the winery in Borgata Torriglione. Here the soil is a classic tortonian blue marl, just a bit more clayish than Rocche dell’Annunziata. The remaining 60% of the grapes come from Roero area, where the sandy soil gives lightness and lift.
Deep hue, almost opaque. The nose is filled with ripe red fruit aromas of blackberries, cherries, and mulberries, complemented by earthy, floral, spicy, herbal, and mineral notes. Medium-bodied with excellent balance, smooth texture, and plush, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blueberries, and plums, along with hints of herbs and minerals. The finish lingers beautifully. Enjoyable now with a decant, but it promises to evolve further with time. A delightful Barbera!
89-91 Pts Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com) 'Dark purple/magenta-colored, the 2023 Barbera D'Alba was tasted from tank right before bottling. It offers fruity notes of preserved blackberries, candied violets, and wet stone, and on the palate, it has a finessed, medium-bodied feel, with fresh acidity, juicy fruit, and a clean, fresh finish. It’s very attractive and will drink well over the next few years. (May 2024)'

About the Wine Maker 
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.
Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media, Feb 2018. … “Trediberri is a new entry in the Piedmont landscape. Proprietor Frederico Oberto who previously worked at Renato Ratti, along with his son, Nicola, and friend Vladimiro Rambaldi make elegant, classically inspired Barolos from vineyards in La Morra. Nicola Oberto is young and brimming with both passion and enthusiasm, all qualities that make Trediberri an estate to watch. These wines are just gorgeous.”
Andrew Jefford named Trediberri amongst his “Five Outstanding Barolo & Barbaresco Producers for Value” August ’15
