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 a pretty rich, heady wine. Dark cherry/plum fruit, cloves, licorice and mocha build as the 2022 shows off 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 is a great help. All things considered, this is a stellar showing." Vinous

"Bright and overtly fruity, this is full of intoxicating violets, cinnamon, blood oranges and black cherries, expressing mint and balsamic depth. Full-bodied with a soft, smooth attack, dusty yet velvety tannins and brilliant acidity. The chocolaty finish shows licorice and a mouth-coating texture. Delicious and balanced." James Suckling
