Trediberri was started by Federico Oberto, his son Nicola, along with his friend Valdimiro Rambaldi in the hamlet of Berri in La Morra andndash; three (tre) from (di) Berri. Their Barolo Normale is mostly sourced from a plot of young vines in Berri on the western edge of La Morra with 20% of the fruit coming from Capalot in the center of the zone. The wine ferments in concrete with native yeast for 3 weeks and spends two years aging 50 HL Botti. andnbsp;This is Barolo that is pure and bright, easy to drink with silky tannins and bright acidity, and appealing floral aromas on the nose. To find Barolo that captures so much allure at this price point is rare indeed!

First encounter with the 2016 Trediberri Barolo. After an hour in the decanter it is very closed and tight. After an additional 30 minutes of had work of spinning the glass the wine finally unleashed its inner complexity. As it opens up it displays an intense fruit profile with slightly tart red berries; cranberries, rose hip and blood orange with a softer edged strawberry fruit and lavender coming from behind. Beyond the fruit there is plenty of complexity coming from a pronounced portion of incense, tar and spicy characters. A penetrating acidity and pronounced, ye approachable, tannins with a gripping texture dictates the palate. A very good fatigue on the mid palate, strong but with light steps and plenty of vibrant energy. An expansive complexity holds your attention through a solid finish. 92 + If opening today I would give it 3-4 hours in the decanter, and don’t rush it in the glass. I am confident that it will age beautifully, and I will keep my additional 6 pack on the back for a couple of years before a revisit.

Very austere and not giving much at the moment. Balanced. Classic style. Needs time.

Dark and brooding. Surely more to be revealed with time.

Couple of hours in a decanter and wow! Even so young, such an elegant wine.
