Founded in 1958 by growers who pooled their Nebbiolo rather than sell it cheaply, the cooperative makes a classic Barbaresco with aromas of rose, cherry, tar, and dried herbs, firm tannins, and bright acidity that carries it gracefully for fifteen years or more. Aged in large neutral oak casks and free of modern flourishes, it speaks plainly of its place and grape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is no better value in Barbaresco.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKerin O'Keefe 96\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2021 was an exceptional year in the Langhe as is clearly demonstrated by the gorgeous 2021 Barbaresco from Produttori. It boasts beautiful aromas of violet, rose, cake spice and mint that carry over to the elegant palate along with succulent red cherry, crushed raspberry and star anise. Taut, refined tannins and bright acidity keep it impeccably balanced. Made from blending Nebbiolo from different vineyard sites, this is the firm’s classic Barbaresco and is one of the greatest values in Italian fine wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Parker's The Wine Advocate 95\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis wine gives us our first taste of the epic 2021 vintage from a producer as prolific as Produttori del Barbaresco. Bottled in April 2024, this vintage shows the immense power and complexity that likens it to 2016, another year for collectors. The 2021 Barbaresco offers medium-rich density that is transmitted both to the wine's appearance and its mouthfeel. There is black fruit, spice and a touch of nutmeg. However, the wine maintains its youthful tension and energy throughout. The tannins are chalky, fine and void of any bitterness. This is a classical expression of Nebbiolo that gives us good reason to be excited for the upcoming 2021 Barbaresco Riservas. - Monica Larner\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Spectator 94 and # 7 in Top 100 of 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA vibrant, well-defined red, offering rose, cherry, strawberry, white pepper and mineral flavors.
