Famous long before the wine region of Barolo even existed, the cru of Cannubi is home to the most elegant, complex and structured Italian red wines. Sourced from the Albarella vineyard on the western side of Cannubi, expresses the nobility of this vineyard perfectly. It's a wine of great class that showcases the elegance of Barolo, with a brilliant garnet red color, leading to exuberant notes of fruit and spices, full and velvety with a long finish. Antonio Galloni has called the 2015 vintage "dazzling," creating beautiful, fruit forward wines with bright acidity and longevity in the cellar. Just starting to hit its three decade drinking window, we recommend letting the bottle breathe for an hour before serving. Don't miss the lowest price in this acclaimed vintage!
"Poached and spiced red cherries and red plums, with a walnut-like sheen of more savory aromas. There's a bed of fine tannins supporting the palate, which holds bright and juicy red-fruit flavor that darkens and enriches the deep, long finish. Try this from 2023." James Suckling, 94 Points
"Oberto's 2015 Barolo Albarella is laced with the essence of dark cherry, plum, licorice, chocolate, spice and new leather. Radiant and generous on the palate, yet also medium in body and quite open, the 2015 will drink well with minimal cellaring. Today, the Albarella is the star in the range. It is also the darkest and most virile of these 2015s. Time in the glass brings out attractive floral and spiced notes that round things out nicely." Antonio Galloni, 93 Points
"The Andrea Oberto 2015 Barolo Albarella (with 5,200 bottles made) opens to soft layers of dark fruit, dried cherry, limestone, licorice and cola. This wine offers good aromatic intensity followed by a subdued and gentle mouthfeel that glides along happily with no rough edges. The tannins are finely integrated thus adding to the wine's polished and silky texture." The Wine Advocate, 93 Points
