Drink it now or cellar for up to 15 years. No need to decant, but best to open it half an hour before service. Located in La Morra, in the heart of the Langhe, Poderi e Cantine Oddero is a historic Piedmontese company today led by Mariacristina and Maria Vittoria, daughters of Giacomo Oddero. The company, which produces local wines such as Barolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, and Moscato d'Asti, owns approximately 35 hectares of vineyards, of which 16 are cultivated with Nebbiolo for the production of Barolo. The Barbera grapes are sourced from vines with an average age of about 50, located in a 1-hectare vineyard in Castiglione Falletto. Vinification and aging take place according to traditional methods, and the finished wine rests in French oak barrels for 16-18 months before bottling. Barbera d'Alba Superiore by Poderi e Cantine Oddero reveals a bright and intense color with ruby tones and purple nuances. Its aromatic profile is broad with captivating notes of black cherry, blackberry, ripe red fruits, and an undertone of fragrant herbs such as bay leaves and juniper. On the palate, it is lively and complex, fresh and concentrated. It has firm and well-integrated tannins and a marked acidic streak typical of this grape. The finish is long and pleasantly fruity. It works beautifully with the classic French onion soup or pasta with meat sauce.
