The Produttori co-operative manage some 250 acres of premium Nebbiolo vineyards in Barbaresco. Each family is in full control of its land, growing Nebbiolo grapes with centuries-old skill and dedication. The winery produces a Barbaresco DOCG each year, a blend of Nebbiolo grapes harvested from different vineyards. For the most part, vines grow in calcium-rich clay-lime soil run through with veins of quick-draining sand.
In most years, this wine accounts for half of the Produttori’s production. Grapes from 50 growers were fermented by native yeast in stainless steel, spending a full month on the skins. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine aged for 24 months before bottling.
“The 2020 Barbaresco boasts an ample set of aromas with wild cherry, blue flower, sweet spice and crushed limestone. As always, the wine paints an exciting and authentic portrait of Nebbiolo, albeit with a little more richness and texture in this vintage. This is especially true in terms of the palate, where the wine offers mid-weight intensity with melting tannins. This ambitious release of 300,000 bottles is slated to hit the market in fall 2023.”

“Just off the bottling line, I was the first in the world to taste the 2020 Barbaresco from bottle with Aldo Vacca. It pours a jewel ruby, which Aldo thought was probably pre-bottle shock. A pretty wine with aromas of ripe raspberry (almost liqueur), sweet licorice, and fresh violets, it is medium to full-bodied, with pure, ripe fruit of red cherry, blood orange, dusty earth, and pressed flowers. This is a lovely wine out of the gates, and it will be interesting to see how it settles. Drink 2024-2040.”
