Nicola and Stefania Oberto may very well put Berri on the map with their 2020 Barolo Berri. What a wine. Deep, soaring and wonderfully expressive, the 2020 is stunning in its beauty. Dark red/purplish fruit, orange peel, cinnamon, rose petal and lavender are all amplified in a vertical, soaring Barolo of magnificent intensity. Silky, polished tannins round things out in style. The 2020 is pure and sensual to the core - a total pleasure bomb.

This is an impressive set of wines from Nicola and Stefania Oberto. The 2020 Barolos spent about 17 days on the skins, vinified 70% in cement and 30% in stainless steel. Aging was done in a combination of 25 and 53hL casks. More than anything else, I am increasingly impressed with the detail and nuance in these wines. The entry-level offerings are every bit as distinctive.
