Andrea Oberto 2005 Vigneto Brunate Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Online Exclusive
This cheerful Barolo shows many of the most common characteristics associated with the Brunate cru. Because this site has darker, denser soils, the wine shows more richness and intensity of aromas and flavors. You’ll get black cherry, plum, peppercorn and Indian spice. The mouthfeel is tight and firm.

Andrea Oberto 2005 Vigneto Rocche Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Online Exclusive
A farmer and former truck driver who shares a great passion for viticulture, Andrea Oberto (who works with his son Fabio) is a winemaker to watch. This unique expression of Barolo delivers beautiful harmony and intensity, but remains a pleasurable and approachable wine all the same. The tannins are still firm, so let it age five to ten more years.
