Tasting Notes & Pairing Ideas
- Ruby red with garnet hues. Bouquet is very rich, intense and lingering. Sensations of great vinosity trade-off with notes of ripe fruit, hardwood, spices and licorice. Great inner-mouth warmth; acidity and tannicity always stand out but tend towards sweet. Very long, lingering aromatic finish.
- The best pairing for this Barolo is with roasts and game.
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.
