Tasting Notes
Whole bunch Nebbiolo from Barolo is about as rare as it gets, which makes this one a real treat. Figli Luigi Oddero let Matt use a tiny plot in their Drucà vineyard in the commune of Barolo, and the wine is declassified to Langhe Nebbiolo to show off the detailed aromatics and fine tannin that come from a 100% whole bunch ferment. The nose is explosive and lifted with florals, but there's still plenty of power and drive underneath. Seriously cool stuff. - Pete L
Arguably Italy’s most important fine wine region, Piedmont is synonymous with Nebbiolo, Barolo, and Barbaresco. It’s also home to a wide array of other compelling reds and whites that range from the austere to the juicy and joyful.
LOCATION:
Northwest Italy, bordering France and Switzerland, with the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south.
TERROIR:
Rolling hills and foggy mornings define Langhe and Roero. Soils are mostly calcareous marl with sandy or clay-rich layers depending on the site. Continental climate with cold winters and warm summers.
VARIETIES:
Nebbiolo is king, producing powerful, tannic reds. Barbera and Dolcetto round out the red trio. For whites, look to Arneis, Cortese (Gavi), and Timorasso. Moscato is important in the Asti area.
