Description
“All of the wines are deeply expressive with regards to site and vintage. In other words, it doesn’t get much better than this. Under the direction of Managing Director Aldo Vacca, the Produttori are making some of the most distinguished wines in their history.“ Antonio Galloni, Vinous
Founded in 1958, the priest of the village of Barbaresco, recognizing that the only way small properties could survive was by joining their efforts, gathered together nineteen small growers and founded the Produttori del Barbaresco. From its humble beginnings making the first three vintages in the church basement, Produttori del Barbaresco has grown to a 52 member co-operative with 250 acres of Nebbiolo vineyards in the Barbaresco appellation and an annual production of over 500,000 bottles. Its vineyards amount to almost 1/6 of the vineyards of the area. Each member is in full control of their land, growing Nebbiolo grapes with the skill and dedication they have honed over generations.
Playing a key role in elevating the quality level of Barbaresco over the years, Produttori del Barbaresco produces this bright and approachable Nebbiolo Langhe, a Barbaresco blend and nine single vineyard wines produced in premier vineyards: Asili, Rabajà, Pora, Montestefano, Ovello, Pajè, Montefico, Muncagota and Rio Sordo.
Produced from young vineyards, this 100% Nebbiolo spends 6 months in oak and has a young, fresh character that is ready for immediate consumption and is ideal for everyday drinking. While labeled under the Langhe DOC appellation, this wine follows all the guidelines and achieves a quality level on par with the Barbaresco denomination. The first vintage of this wine was produced in 1978. Yes so it is declassified ‘Barbaresco’. Ruby red in colour with a bouquet of red fruit with notes of spices, white pepper and anise. Beautifully balanced with bright fruit flavours. Fabulous ‘Baby Barbaresco’ from an exceptional growing season.. Gorgeous balance and poise.. Even Day 2 this wine revealed layers and layers.. Enjoy this over the next 5 to 8 years
“The 2019 Langhe Nebbiolo is a rich, explosive wine at this level. A rush of sweet red kirsch, mint and cinnamon give the 2019 an exuberant, captivating feel. Aromatic, rich and generous, the Langhe Nebbiolo delivers the goods. Readers should expect an extroverted style. The 2019 was aged in cement and neutral cask.” Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media, Sept 2021
93 points, Greg Sherwood MW “This young Nebbiolo is utterly seductive with intricate perfume that wafts out the glass in waves of wild strawberry, red cherry, violets and pink blossom and an underlying hint of garrigue, vermouth botanicals, blood orange and dry roasted nuts. Very classy and quite individual with exceptional quality year in, year out, the 2019 palate is sleek, silky and wonderfully fresh with a mouth watering acidity, youthful chalky tannins and a real melange of cranberry, red cherry, vermouth bitters and subtle liquorice nuances on the finish. Fabulously elegant and energetic, this vintage is ripe and characterful with impressive fruit concentration but also a supple, elegant texture. Another cracking vintage that should drink well over 6 to 8+ years.”
