For over 60 years, the Produttori del Barbaresco have stood for an uncompromising approach to quality, supported by over 50 winegrowers who contribute their best grapes from Barbaresco, Neive and Treiso to the community. The Barbaresco 2022 is a prime example of collective precision and classic style: the Nebbiolo grapes come from selected communal vineyards, some of which are adjacent to the crus, on chalky and clayey soils. Vinification was carried out traditionally: a long maceration period, ageing for 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, followed by a further resting period in the bottle.

Clear, bright garnet red in the glass. The nose is fine and brooding: Rosehip, sour cherry, violets, dried herbs and a subtle hint of tar combine to create an elegant, almost floating aroma. Precise on the palate, with focussed fruit, cool minerality and firm tannins. The balance between power and finesse is exemplary, the acidity structure has a carrying effect, without sharpness, the finish is long, linear and of quiet noblesse. With the 2022, Produttori del Barbaresco has succeeded in creating an archetypal Barbaresco – accessible in its youth, but with clear prospects for long, worthy ageing. A wine that never aims for prestige, but always for integrity and origin. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Barbaresco is quite a rich, heady wine. Dark cherry/plum fruit, cloves, liquorice and mocha build as the 2022 shows its considerable depth. It is one of the few 2022s that are texturally quite resonant. The aromatics could be a little more pronounced and the tannins could use a little more polish, but these qualities were almost impossible to find in 2022. The inclusion of juice from Riserva lots is a big help. All in all, this is an excellent result." Vinous

"Bright and fruity, full of heady violets, cinnamon, blood oranges and black cherries, with a hint of mint and balsamic depth. Full-bodied with a soft, supple attack, dusty yet velvety tannins and brilliant acidity. The chocolaty finish shows liquorice and a mouth-flattering texture. Delicious and balanced." James Suckling

"Violet, rose and dried herb scents over black cherry, raspberry and a touch of tar. Medium-bodied yet firm on the palate, its succulent red fruits are framed by fine tannins and fresh acidity. The clean and persistent finish shows floral, red-fruit and mineral nuances." Decanter
