When we tasted it as a group there was unanimous agreement: This is great wine and great value. Only 500 cases produced of this extraordinary Barbera. The Oddero family lavish the same care on this wine as they do on their single-vineyard Barolos, with extreme selection of the grapes, and a slow fermentation. Vinchio is a south-facing vineyard with sixty year old vines, which gives wine of remarkable grace and lift. The fruit is finely-etched but rich in flavor, with a long finish. Receives rich wood treatment, but it is seamlessly integrated, and hardly apparent. 40% aged in barrique for 18 months, the rest in large oak barrels. Astonishingly pure and layered, try it with boar ragu, ginger and juniper berries with a side of creamy polenta.
