2022 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco

The Barbaresco from Produttori del Barbaresco is a classic expression of the Nebbiolo grape, offering a well-balanced, elegant, and structured wine. This wine is produced from a selection of grapes grown in the prestigious Barbaresco D O G (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) region of Piemonte, Italy. The cooperative works with multiple growers across several vineyards, which allows them to produce wines that reflect the diversity of the region’s terroir.

The 2022 Barbaresco is a pretty rich, heady wine. Dark cherry/plum fruit, cloves, licorice and mocha build as the 2022 shows o its considerable depth. This is one of the few 2022s that is quite resonant texturally. The aromatics could be more lifted and the tannins could use a bit more polish, but those qualities were next to impossible to come by in 2022. The inclusion of some juice from Riserva lots in a great help. This is a stellar showing. Drink 2027-2034
