In 1894, a wine cooperative was established in Barbaresco as a way to separate the wine district from its supplying relations to Barolo, but during Mussolini’s regime in the 1930s it was shut down. By 1958 the cooperative started back up again, and now Produttori del Barbaresco now has a total of 51 members and controls more than 250 acres of some of the highest-quality Nebbiolo vineyards in the Barbaresco region of Piedmont. Their most popular wine is their flagship bottle which is a Barbaresco known for its reliability and great value. The cooperative also makes nine different single-vineyard riserva Barbarescos from the best vintages to highlight a wide range of styles that the house can produce. Their Langhe Nebbiolo, made from young vines in exemplary Barbaresco-classified vineyards, completes their critically-acclaimed portfolio.
The Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Riserva Ovello 2011 showcases the elegance of Nebbiolo from the Ovello MGA, known for its unique terroir of calcareous marl and sandstone. This wine is characterized by its precision and energy, reflecting both the cooler climate of Barbaresco and the warm vintage. Aromas of red berries, cherry, and plum are accompanied by notes of leather, cedar, and spices. The palate reveals a silky texture with firm tannins and vibrant acidity, providing a balanced finish. This vintage has potential for longevity, making it suitable for cellaring, while also being enjoyable now, capturing the essence of both the site and the vintage.
