Tasting Notes & Pairing Ideas
- Intense ruby-red turning to light purple hue. Amazingly perfumed with rose petal and dark fruits. Full body, solid core of ripe and cool fruit, and fine tannins. Long finish.
- It pairs well with filled pasta and red meat, but also with duck, goose and game birds.
Winery Profile
- The story begins after Fabio’s grandfather passed away. Fabio’s father, Andrea, returned to the land, leaving his career, to take care of the family’s vineyards (3 ha) in La Morra, one of the principal towns of the famed Barolo zone of production.
- In 1978, the family started bottling their wines rather than selling to the local cantina sociale. Gradually the production expanded from the Barolo to include 18 hectares of owned and rented vineyards – Dolcetto, Barbera
- Fabio Oberto ‘La Collina di Dioniso’, the new business of Fabio after 22 years working with the father, gives continuity to the family’s vision of making wine true to the great terroir of the area, shared by farmers with same ideals, ambitions and values.
