The Winery

Produttori del Barbaresco

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.

Tasting Notes

WA94
You may remember that this wine was once called Moccagatta. Produttori del Barbaresco reverted to the local Piemontese spelling of the name in 2007 to stay consistent with the geographic mapping of local cru sites. The 2013 Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota stands apart from the nine other single-vineyard Riservas presented by Produttori del Barbaresco this vintage. Of these various wines, this is the most salty and savory. There is less primary fruit intensity here. The bouquet is laced with grilled rosemary and wild sage. This growing site absorbs loads of morning sunshine with southeast-facing exposures. The mouthfeel is characterized by dry tannins and very long, balsam-like persistence. Dried ginger and herbs appear on the menthol-like finish.
