Trediberri Introduction Mixed Case

Barbera is the grape here; Alba is part of the appellation. Trediberri’s published approach draws on grapes from Roero and its vineyards around Torriglione, near the winery, with fermentation and ageing in tanks rather than oak.

The producer describes its Barbera as fruit-led and full-bodied, with bright acidity. Keeping it unoaked gives that combination room to speak, without adding the flavour of oak.

For the 2024 vintage, Falstaff’s Othmar Kiem and Simon Staffler awarded 92 points, noting redcurrant and raspberry aromas, supple tannins and freshness. They also recommend serving it cool. This is where we would start if you are getting to know the range and want the fruit-forward option.

This is Nebbiolo under the broader Langhe DOC appellation. It gives you another way into the grape before moving to Barolo, with a different approach to ageing.

Trediberri keeps this wine unoaked too. Its published method uses mainly concrete for fermentation, followed by time in tanks before bottling. The producer’s intention is a fruity, approachable Nebbiolo, and its serving suggestion is straightforward: slightly cool.

Falstaff awarded the 2024 vintage 92 points. Kiem and Staffler describe redcurrant, blood orange and bitter almond aromas, with silky tannins and some grip on the palate. That detail matters: approachable Nebbiolo can still have texture and structure.
