The 2022 Oddero Barbera d’Alba opens with a vibrant bouquet of ripe red and black cherries, juicy plums, and a hint of wild violets. Subtle layers of sweet tobacco, dried herbs, and a touch of graphite add depth and complexity. On the palate, the wine is silky yet energetic, with bright, mouthwatering acidity that carries flavors of red currant, black cherry, and a whisper of dark chocolate. Notes of baking spice, almond, and a light balsamic nuance emerge on the mid-palate, adding dimension and richness. The finish is long, savory, and elegant, leaving a lingering impression of fruit, minerality, and fine-grained tannins.
