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 Rabaja 2011 is a distinguished single-vineyard Nebbiolo from the prestigious Rabajà cru. Known for its longevity and refined site expression, this wine is crafted from grapes grown on a calcareous-marl ridge, benefiting from traditional long maceration and aging in large Slavonian oak barrels. The wine presents a complex profile with alluring aromas of mature berries, flowers, and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it showcases a depth of raspberry compote, cherry, and notes of licorice and clove, framed by fine, structured tannins. The wine's balance and potential for further development make it a classic example of Barbaresco. This vintage is characterized by its intensity and requires patience for optimal enjoyment.
