Figli Luigi Oddero, the Barolo producer in La Morra currently markets one Barbareso and all of the fruit comes from approximately 5 acres of vines they own in the Rombone MGA in Treiso.
Popped and poured. The 2018 “Rombone” pours a light ruby color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, this is developing and already very pretty with Luxardo cherry, pomegranate, red flowers, dried earth and mild spices. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and grippy. A lovely Barbaresco showing the elegance and juiciness of the vintage. Drink now and through 2038.

Lovely wine. While I’ve enjoyed domestic Nebbiolo in the past, this is my first time enjoying a true Piedmont Barbaresco. I love the medium body and drying tannins. Lately I’ve shied away from “big red” wines, and it’s so nice to find another red that I can heartily enjoy. I may have opened this 2014 too soon, but i still love this wine. Patience is lost on me.

Classic barbaresco. Fine tannins and expressive fruit - it’s bright and just absolutely delicious. Great acidity. Floral and cherry - with just a hint of earth, in contrast to other nebbiolos the tar action is subtle.
