Tasting Notes
| FineWine International | |
| Oberti has produced an outstanding Barolo Rocche in the acclaimed 2000 vintage. But this should not be surprising since he has been producing outstanding Barolo from the Rocche vineyard for a number of years now. As Gambero Rosso has noted what is impressive about Oberti's Barolo Rocche is its "austere elegance and meansured finesse". The classic nebbiolo flavors and aromas are there in perfect balance. This is a wine to cellar but it is very seductive now. | |

| Full ruby-red. Musky aromas of dark berries, maraschino cherry and nutty oak. Lush, sweet and deep; more exotic than the Albarella, with liqueur-like flavors of berries and black cherry. Quite large-scaled for a Barolo from La Morra. Really saturates the palate with fruit. Finishes long and rich, with big, ripe tannins. | |

| The 2000 Barolo Rocche does full justice to one of La Morra¿s most important vineyards. Powerful and balsamic notes of red fruit, anise, and roses give way to ripe, dense, and velvety flavors, more concentrated than those of the Barolo Arbarella but suppler, smoother, and more sensual as well. The wine should easily last another dozen years.Daniel Thomases |
