Prod. del Barbaresco

Intensiv die Farbe, ein frisches Bouquet von roten Früchten und süßen floralen Noten, tanninfester Geschmack, schöne Harmonie zwischen Säure und Alkohol, mittelgewichtig, persistent der Abgang. Seit Jahren unser Preis-Leistungs-Gewinner unter den Nebbioli aus der Langhe! SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2017 Langhe Nebbiolo is an elegant expression that shows tonic and fresh fruit with wild berry, rose hip and tilled earth. This wine excels in terms of presenting Nebbiolo in its most pure and naked state. This vintage shows an extra level of concentration and textural richness with a clear tannic bite on the close." Robert Parker

In einem tiefen, lebendigen Rubin- bis Granatrot zeigt sich der Barbaresco mit dem weitläufigen Bouquet von roten Früchten und Gebäck und einem mineralischen Anflug. Geschmacklich überzeugt er durch eine reiche, solide Struktur sowie eine kontinuierliche Entwicklung, die in einem langatmigen duftentsprechenden Finale endet. Die in Italien führende Winzergenossenschaft zeigt jedes Jahr bereits mit ihrem Basis-Barbaresco, wozu sie und ihre Mitglieder in der Lage sind. Complimenti! SUPERIORE.DE

"Tasted blind. Youthful looking mid ruby. Iron, oats and lifted sweet, rich fruit. Bags of ripe cherry on the palate but nothing out of kilter or overdone. Tannic layer under generous sweet-sour cherry fruit. Embryonic and with plenty of stuffing." Jancis Robinson

"Cherry, tar and menthol flavors mark this rich, silky red. Even more expansive on the palate, building to a long, complex aftertaste. Beautifully balanced, this picks up a minerally accent on the finish." Wine Spectator

"The 2016 Barbaresco is a stunning wine with tremendous richness for this bottling. Ample, deep and powerful, the 2016 exudes pedigree and class from start to finish. I can't remember a straight Barbaresco here with this much fruit density and unctuous richness, and yet there is more than enough tannin and overall structure to give the wine its classically leaning feel. A blast of sweet red cherry fruit, tobacco, menthol licorice and smoke hits the potent finish. What a wine!" Vinous

"Enticing aromas of violet, woodland berry, loose vineyard soil, wild mint and a hint of spearmint shape the intensely fragrant nose. The tense, young palate is still nervous but already boasts finesse, showing wild raspberry, crunchy red cherry, white pepper and star anise. Firm, refined tannins and racy acidity give it a linear, almost austere elegance, while bright acidity keeps it focused and balanced." (Cellar Selection) Wine Enthusiast

"The 2016 Barbaresco is a tight and beautiful wine that will require more time to unwind and soften. This beautifully balanced vintage is characterized by a tight inner core of fruit that underlines the graceful aging capacity of these wines. The 2016 is shaping up to be one destined for long cellar aging. Now in its youth, the wine offers wild berry, rose and licorice aromas." Robert Parker

Pora überwältigt mit unglaublicher Komplexität und einer Aromenvielfalt, die von Himbeeren und Lakritz über Trockenblumen und Gewürze bis zu weißem Trüffel reicht. Im Geschmack bietet der Pora Noblesse und eine gewisse Ernsthaftigkeit, bevor er sich mit Biss und Saftigkeit öffnet und samtig weit ausklingt. SUPERIORE.DE

"Verheissungsvoller Duft nach Steinobst, Leder und Tabak; im Mund saftig, die Säure spürbar, das Tannin gut eingebunden, rassig und kraftvoll, dennoch finessenreich. Zu Rehrücken." Vinum

"Lustrous mid ruby with orange tinges. Sweet, peppery raspberry nose with hints of strawberry jam. Clean-cut raspberry palate with plenty of acidity, but the fragrant fruit follows through. Fine layer of sandy tannins that become more prominent on the finish." Jancis Robinson

"I had tasted this vintage last year as a barrel sample. Now a fully complete wine, the 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Pora did not disappoint, and even jumped up a few points. The Riserva Pora opens to dark fruit intensity with a slightly more accessible quality. Those lovely floral tones of lavender and violet are ever present. After having spent three years in oak and another year in the bottle, this wine offers a looser mouthfeel in terms of tannic structure, making it a bit more open and immediate in personality. You could uncork this bottle in 2020 if you just can't wait, but ideally, it is meant for the longer haul." Robert Parker

"Although Pora is a relatively low-elevation site and can produce broad wines, Produttori's growers own almost half the cru, so they can select the best grapes for this Riserva. It's beautifully perfumed, with pure raspberry fruit. The palate is streamlined and poised, with a sleek texture and a remarkable purity of flavour, yet it doesn't lack structure and its fine acidity gives it drive and persistence." Decanter

"Round and supple, exuding cherry, berry, licorice, eucalyptus and tar flavors. Harmonious and well-built, with a long aftertaste of menthol." Wine Spectator

"The 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Pora is a dark, sensual beauty. Deeply spiced and balsamic, with tremendous textural richness, the Pora is utterly beguiling. I can't remember a Pora with this much depth, textural resonance and brooding intensity. The 2014 needs at least a few years to be at its best, but it is superb even in the early going. I won't be surprised if the 2014 turns out to be better than this note suggests." VINOUS

Muncagota mit komplexem Duft von Kirschen und Himbeeren, Rauch, Tabak und Gewürzen bietet dem Gaumen schon jung eine bemerkenswerte Fülle, Süße und Länge. Ein gut strukturierter, klassischer Barbaresco, der uns schon heute und mit Sicherheit noch etliche Jahre Vergnügen bereitet. Unbestritten auch sein erstklassiges Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. SUPERIORE.DE

"Mid ruby and the most youthful looking of all the 2014 Riserva crus. Cool raspberry nose that is slow to open up. Intense yet not sweet raspberry palate that is fresh and concentrated and with a firm structure. Very complete, but needs time. A little vibrant and mouth-watering on the finish." Jancis Robinson

"Lean and taut, this reveals mint, menthol, licorice, orange peel and subtle cherry flavors, all underscored by assertive tannins and lively acidity. An austere style, this will need time to come around." Wine Spectator

"The 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota is another of the overachievers in this range. White pepper, bright red cherry, floral notes and mint cut through the fruit in this beautifully vivid, crystalline Barbaresco. There is a level of energy, drive and overall nuance in the 2014 I don't recall having seen in the past. The 2014 is a terrific Muncagota." VINOUS

"The 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota is beautifully polished and bright, with dark berry fruit, ripe cherry, crushed stone and pressed flowers. The wine is compact and firm, and you feel the tannins and power in the mouth. The Muncagota remains slightly more closed in terms of the bouquet, but this will open up with some time."

Montestefano Riserva 2014 bestätigt ihre Form der letzten Jahre. Kraftvoll, tiefgründig und mit Potenzial für eine gefühlte Ewigkeit. SUPERIORE.DE

"Mid ruby and a shade brighter than the Montefico. Subtle peppery strawberry and raspberry but not really open yet. Compact and tightly built with lively succulent red fruit on a big foundation of formidable, majestic tannins. Long, precise and powerful yet contained." Jancis Robinson

"This is visibly the darkest in color and concentration of this series of wines from the well-known Produttori del Barbaresco cooperative. The 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano offers round and supple fruit with dark cherry, blackberry and some easy spice." Robert Parker

"This first-rate Barbaresco cooperative has released a superb set of Riservas, and this is among the very best. It's dense and solid on the nose, infused with cherry and raspberry fruit. Suave and full-bodied, it shows impressive weight and depth, with ripe tannins that contribute texture. The finish is spicy, displaying drive, finesse and length. Excellent balance and ageing potential." Decanter
 
"Pure cherry flavors permeate the rich flesh of this red, backed by vibrant acidity and fine tannins. Eucalyptus, earth and tar elements add depth as this cruises to a lingering finish. Fine intensity." Wine Spectator
 
"One of the many highlights in this range, the Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano is superb. A big enrobing wine, the Montestefano wraps around the palate with stunning depth. Today, the Montestefano is utterly embryonic, and yet it exudes depth, resonance and pure class. The Montestefano is one of the more complete wines in the range because of the way it deftly balances fruit intensity and structure. Readers will have to be patient, though." VINOUS

Der feine Lagen-Barbaresco Ovello beeindruckt mit lebhaftem Granatrot und einer Duftmelange aus roten Früchten, einem Hauch Minze und süßen Gewürzen. Beeindruckend in Typizität und Jahrgangsausdruck mit einem großen Geschmack, der weich und harmonisch in den langen Abgang fließt. SUPERIORE.DE

"Mid ruby with orange tinges. Ripe, cool raspberry with quite a bit of concentration underneath, but still quite closed. Concentrated raspberry and strawberry palate with a linear, precise vein of acidity running all the way through. It gets more perfumed by the second while sitting in the glass. Bags of powdery tannins lining the concentrated, fresh raspberry fruit." Jancis Robinson

1 Flasche à 0,75l | Barbaresco Rio Sordo Riserva DOCG 2014

Rio Sordo Riserva ist besonders dicht, reich und ausgewogen. Im Bouquet Rosen, Gewürze und Himbeeren. Am Gaumen sehr komplex und von herrlicher Tiefe. Die floralen Noten bis ins Finale machen diese feminine Barbaresco Riserva schon in jungen Jahren unwiderstehlich. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo represents a jump forward in structure compared to the other three vineyards (Pora, Pajè and Ovello) that were tasted before this wine. The Riserva Rio Sordo shows a dark and solid personality, with a tight core of black fruit that will relax and unwind with more bottle aging in the cellar. It is also slightly sharper and more focused in terms of mouthfeel, with the kind of tannic tightness you always get with young Nebbiolo in the cooler vintages such as 2014. Barbaresco lovers should jot this one down." Robert Parker

Der feine Lagen-Barbaresco Ovello beeindruckt mit lebhaftem Granatrot und einer Duftmelange aus roten Früchten, einem Hauch Minze und süßen Gewürzen. Beeindruckend in Typizität und Jahrgangsausdruck mit einem großen Geschmack, der weich und harmonisch in den langen Abgang fließt. SUPERIORE.DE

"Always one of my favorite wines from Produttori del Barbaresco, the 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello lays out a broad and soft mouthfeel, with tannins that have already been polished and integrated thanks to ample time in the bottle already. It's safe to say that this Ovello cru loyally demonstrates the level of richness and textural softness that this site is known for. The bouquet is redolent of bright berry fruit with cherry, blackberry and plum. Also, the 2014 vintage was a warm one at the end of the growing season, and you taste a little bit of that ripeness here too." Robert Parker

1 Flasche à 0,75l | Barbaresco Rabajà Riserva DOCG 2014

Rabaja ist eine eleganter und großer Wein. Ausgedehnt fruchtiger Kern, daneben Andeutungen von Rosen, Menthol, Mineralien und Teer. Rabaja bietet die ganze Palette: schöne Frucht, definierter Körper, hervorragende Länge, feine Gerbsäure und herrliche balsamische Noten. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà shows excellent textural richness with dark fruit, followed by notes of tobacco and tilled earth. Black truffle and dried fruit converge on the bouquet to add to the intensity. You really appreciate the freshness and sheer power of this succulent, well-structured and medium to full-bodied Barbaresco. This one's the real deal." Robert Parker

1 Flasche à 0,75l | Barbaresco Pajé Riserva DOCG 2014

Dieser Cru aus der Lage Pajé im Herzen des Barbaresco-Gebietes wartet mit mineralischem Duft und fruchtigem Geschmack auf. Das Bouquet verströmt Noten von Weichselkirschen, Tabak und geröstetem Landbrot, auf der Zuge unglaublich tief und elegant, dazu eine prunkvolle, reife Frucht im perfekten Spiel mit den Tanninen. Schon heute ein Klassiker! SUPERIORE.DE

"Beams of minerality and salinity cut through a core of dense, dark fruit in the 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Pajè. Deeply pitched and tannic, the 2014 is a super-classic, youthfully austere Barbaresco that is going to need time to be at its best. Readers should expect a firm, structured Barbaresco. The finish alone is striking. Crushed rocks, minerals, sage and lavender add nuance to this chiseled, finely sculpted Barbaresco. Readers who can find it should not hesitate." Vinous

1 Flasche à 0,75l | Barbaresco Asili Riserva DOCG 2014

Hier herrscht eine gelungene Gewaltenteilung zwischen Extrakt, Tannin und Alkohol. Das würzige Fruchtaroma mit verführerischen Leder- und Tabaknoten und die geschmackliche Kraft und Eleganz garantieren eine prächtige Süffigkeit und hohen Genuss. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Asili is somber and dense in this vintage. Silky Asili tannins bring out the wine's voluptuousness and soft contours. Dark red cherry and plum fruit show some of the typical Asili sensuality, but the 2014 is a powerhouse that is going to need time to come around. In 2014, Asili is unusually – almost uncharacteristically – austere." Vinous

1 Flasche à 0,75l | Barbaresco Montefico Riserva DOCG 2014

Barbaresco Riserva Montefico hat Energie und schiere Kraft mit einer gewissen Strenge, die sich im Laufe der nächsten Jahre mildern wird. Dunkle rote Früchte, Leder, Anis und andere Gewürze gehören zu seinen vielfältigen Aromen. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico is another of the more inward, reticent wines in the range. A core of huge dark fruit virtually covers the beams of incisive tannin that are such a signature of this Barbaresco site. Dark red plum, chalk, cured meats, plum, iron, smoke, leather and licorice confer attractive elements of savoriness to this potent, structured Barbaresco." Vinous
