A top Piedmont value made from exceptional declassified Barbaresco fruit, the sleek and refined 92 pt. 2022 Produttori del Barbaresco Nebbiolo delle Langhe is a delicious 100% Nebbiolo revealing fragrant dark berry flavors hinting of spice with bright acidity and refined tannins, crafted by “one of the world’s top cooperatives” according to Antonio Galloni of Vinous and a fresh expression of Nebbiolo affordably priced to enjoy often over the next few years.
Originally established with nine growers in 1894 by “Father of Barbaresco” Domizzio Cavazza, the Produttori del Barbaresco cooperative has grown to over 50 grower family members farming over 100 hectares of premium Nebbiolo vineyards, spanning nearly one sixth of the entire Barbaresco DOC and led by Piedmont legend Aldo Vacca since 1991 following a 15-year tenure as Angelo Gaja’s assistant. Incentivized to implement lower yields and improve viticulture, the growers agree to forgo producing any Nebbiolo-based wines in their own cellars and deliver 100% of their Nebbiolo grapes to the coop, receiving substantial bonuses based on the quality of their fruit. Vinified in concrete tanks and aged for five months in large wooden barrels, the beautifully balanced 2022 Produttori del Barbaresco Nebbiolo delle Langhe layers fresh red and black fruit with smooth, plush tannins and exuberant acidity, its well-integrated tannins providing a backbone of structure to evolve over the next years.
Boasting an unmistakable Barbaresco pedigree described by Antonio Galloni of Vinous as producing “expressive, transparent wines of place,” the Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner calls the alluring 92 pt. 2022 Produttori del Barbaresco Nebbiolo delle Langhe “a pretty little surprise,” describing the cuvee as an “absolutely satisfying taste of pure Nebbiolo” and counting it among Italy's ultimate values, a delicious, well-crafted 100% Nebbiolo for Barbaresco lovers to enjoy often without breaking the bank. |
