Oddero Barbera d'Asti

~ Editor's Choice ~

One additional year in wood, often used to season botte, about half sees barrique, in this year because of new botte no new barrique but typically fifteen to twenty percent, full south exposure of the vineyard, high temps,little thermic excursion, a tight little valley with a very steep vineyard, high percentages of sand, very narrow rows, no tractors can be used so all manual work. This has a really big nose that is barely fruit driven showing instead layers of forest floor, leather, dried meat, bramble and dark macerated floral aromas over a base of small blackberry fruits. Opulent on entry and chewy in the mouth with an attractive lightweight density to the wine, it’s not heavy but it is a bit thick with the acidity kicking in early and showing decisively but not too elevated. there’s great power and length, this is fabulous in a rich, powerful fresh and clear style. A really attractive blend of power and grace. 93pts ~ GDP ~

TO PRINT THE LIST

User EMark added a comment to the Value Wines article that explains how to create a printable version of this list, which I am reporting below.

Thanks EMark!

See the "Save List" link above. Click on that, and the list will be added to your profile. A box will also appear that says "List Saved" and will give you some options. Click on "Manage Lists." This will take you to the "My Lists" portion of your Snooth profile. You should see the "2013 PVA Top Value WInners" list there. However, not all the list will be displayed. Click on the link that says "See Full List." Not surprisingly, the complete list is displayed. Now, look above the list on the right hand side, and you will see a link that says "Print" with a printer icon. That should do it for you.
