Erbaluna Barolo
Azienda Vitivinicola Erbaluna di Andrea Oberto is located in La Morra, in the heart of the Langa hills. This is the fourth generation of a family that has been involved in the winemaking sector since the beginning of the last century, in a region that has always had a vocation for viticulture. In the mid-1980s, the Andrea e Severino Oberto brothers decided to change the face of their estate, deciding to work organically and trying to regain that contact with the land that seemed to have been lost in recent decades. Little by little, they purchased new vineyards, converting them to organic cultivation methods and steering sales mainly towards northern Europe, which was already educated in organic farming, and then worldwide. Erbaluna is known to produce impressive wines. The estate has a long standing history with records of recognition since the early 1920s. Some of these wines are still stored in the cellars!
Made from 50 year old vines situated in La Morra in the heart of Langhe hills,, Erbaluna Barolo is an elegant wine. Hand harvested grapes are carefully transferred to the wine making facilities. After a 24 day period of maceration the wine is then aged in large Slovenian oak barrels before release. (Some barrels date back to 1915.)
