Produttori del Barbaresco Langhe Nebbiolo 2022

Famed for their spectacular single-vineyard Barbarescos, Produttori del Barbaresco is perhaps the world’s most celebrated wine co-operative. Founded in 1956, it’s considered one of the most consistent and exceptional producers in the region, and can take a lot of credit for helping the Barbaresco appellation gain a reputation nor far short of its neighbor Barolo. While these wines need several years of aging, it’s the Langhe Nebbiolo that’s the most accessible and approachable in its youth. Perfumed and precise, it’s lithe and delicately structured with a ripe core of red fruits, rose petal and spice, all elegantly framed by fine yet firm tannins and bright acidity.

92 points Ian D’Agata (Terroir Sense): “Concentrated, harmonious aromas and flavors of red cherry, orange peel and sweet spices have lovely clarity and cut. Finishes smooth with outstanding length. This is fermented in concrete to preserve freshness then ages in large oak barrels for five months.”
