Produttori del Barbaresco Langhe Nebbiolo 2022

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. Enjoy this over the next 5 to 8 years

“.. the 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo is plump, juicy and very easy to like. The warm, dry year yielded a forward, supple Nebbiolo with lovely forward fruit, soft curves and tons of forward appeal.

Anticipated maturity: 2023-2029″ Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
