{"title":"Produttori del Barbaresco","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduttori del Barbaresco is the cooperative of the village of Barbaresco and one of the most respected names in Piedmont. More than fifty grower families supply nothing but Nebbiolo, and the result is classic, traditionally made Barbaresco. Here you will find Langhe Nebbiolo, the house Barbaresco and the celebrated single-vineyard Riservas from Asili, Rabajà, Montestefano and the other crus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduttori del Barbaresco: the cooperative that held a village together\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story starts in 1894, when Domizio Cavazza gathered nine growers, founded the Cantina Sociale di Barbaresco and made wine in the cellars of the castle. It was the beginning of cooperative winemaking in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/barbaresco\"\u003eBarbaresco\u003c\/a\u003e. The cellar was closed under the Fascist regime in the 1920s, and many families later left the village for Turin and Alba.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1958 the parish priest, Don Fiorino Marengo, led a fresh start. He persuaded nineteen growers to stop selling their grapes and make wine together again, and Produttori del Barbaresco was born. Today more than fifty families are members, farming around 120 hectares between them, all planted with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/nebbiolo\"\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/a\u003e. The cooperative has long been run by Aldo Vacca, and its members own plots in many of the finest sites in the village.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTraditional Barbaresco from Nebbiolo and large oak casks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking is deliberately classic. Fermentation on the skins lasts around three weeks, and the wines then age in large, old oak casks, known as botti, rather than in small new barriques. The result is transparent wine in which the red fruit, roses and tar of Nebbiolo take centre stage, carried by firm tannins and fresh acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery year, grapes from the members' vineyards are blended into a Barbaresco DOCG that shows the village as a whole. In great vintages, part of the fruit from nine individual vineyards is also kept apart, aged for an extra year and bottled as a separate Riserva. The first Riservas came with the 1967 vintage. In weaker years no Riserva is made, and everything goes into the standard Barbaresco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe nine Barbaresco Riserva crus: Asili, Rabajà, Ovello and the rest\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting Riservas from the same vintage side by side is one of the best ways to understand the terroir of the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/langhe\"\u003eLanghe\u003c\/a\u003e.

Sourced from the high, breezy Ovello vineyard, this Riserva balances Barbaresco’s trademark finesse with the power and warmth of the 2017 vintage. With just under 18,000 bottles produced, it offers serious cellar-worthy Nebbiolo at a level of craftsmanship usually reserved for much rarer wines.\n\nOvello is known for giving Barbaresco its nervy structure and vivid aromatics, and this 2017 delivers both in generous measure. It stands out for its intensity of blackcurrant, wild cherry, tobacco, rusty iron and licorice, carried on a silk-smooth yet firmly structured frame and 15% alcohol that promises long aging.

Swirl the glass and you’ll find lifted, expressive aromatics: ripe blackcurrant, wild cherry and plum supported by notes of dried rose petals, tobacco leaf, anise, iron, and a subtle hint of forest floor and leather emerging with air.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is intense yet finely etched, with a focused, linear profile. The attack is silky, then quickly framed by firm, chalky tannins that are characteristic of Ovello’s cooler, calcareous soils. Flavors of dark berry compote, sour cherry, licorice, sweet spice and a slight savory, ferrous edge unfold in layers. The acidity is bright and mouthwatering, keeping the 15% alcohol in perfect balance and giving the wine lift and length. This 2017 has the structure and concentration to age gracefully for 15–20 years from vintage, developing more truffle, tar, dried herb and leather complexity over time while the tannins resolve into a beautifully harmonious, seamless texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOvello is one of Barbaresco’s most celebrated crus, sitting at higher altitude on a ridge of limestone and clay with sandy components, facing mainly south and southwest. This combination of poorer, calcareous soils and excellent exposure yields Nebbiolo with intense aromatics, firm tannins and vibrant acidity. Produttori del Barbaresco harvests by hand, parcel by parcel, selecting only the best Nebbiolo grapes in suitable vintages for their Riserva bottlings.\n\nIn the cellar, grapes are destemmed and undergo a traditional, long maceration to extract color, tannin and the full aromatic spectrum of Nebbiolo. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks, after which the wine is aged for an extended period in large neutral oak botti—typically Slavonian oak—to preserve purity of fruit and terroir expression rather than imprinting strong oak flavors. The Ovello Riserva then rests further in bottle before release, ensuring that structure, fruit and secondary notes begin to knit together before it reaches consumers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOvello Riserva 2017 is an excellent partner for richly flavored, savory dishes that can stand up to its structure and complexity.

Classic Piedmontese pairings like tajarin with white truffle, brasato al Barolo, mushroom risotto or aged cow’s milk cheeses (Castelmagno, Parmigiano Reggiano, mature Pecorino) are particularly compelling.\n\nFor optimal enjoyment, serve at 16–18°C (about 60–64°F). In its youth, this wine benefits from generous aeration: decant for 2–3 hours to allow the aromatics to unfold and the tannins to soften.

Produttori del Barbaresco farms these parcels traditionally, with careful green harvesting and hand-picking to ensure only perfectly ripe Nebbiolo grapes make it into the Riserva. In the cellar, the must undergoes a temperature-controlled fermentation with extended maceration to extract fine tannins and aromatic complexity.
