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)

"This red blends cherry, licorice, tar and earth notes with firm, well-integrated tannins, and is open and enjoyable now for the frank, vibrant fruit." Wine Spectator

"Fruit for the 2015 Langhe Nebbiolo is completely sourced from vineyards that are officially registered to make Barbaresco. Clusters are selected from the youngest vines and from the lower vineyard parcels (or other spots that do not meet the more stringent Barbaresco standards). This vintage shares some obvious similarities to 2011 in that the fruit is very ripe, round, supple and immediate. The wine is an absolute pleasure to drink right now, and it should hold for another five years without too much hassle. The alcoholic power is apparent. The wine is a subtle shade darker in appearance with soft tannins and intense fruit. This wine gives us a very good sneak peek at what the 2015 Barbaresco expressions will be like." Robert Parker

2014 war ein großer Jahrgang für die Produttori: 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)

"2014 Barbaresco is a beautiful wine that encompasses the important qualities that we look for in fine Nebbiolo. Ultimately, this is the kind of vintage that transfers best to the delicate grape. It saw a long growing season (Nebbiolo loves a late harvest) and steep diurnal temperature shifts to lock in the freshness of aromas. The mouthfeel is a bit thinner in texture, but it delivers plenty of beautiful length and endurance instead. It offers crisp tones of cherry fruit with licorice, wet earth and blue flowers. The line of Barbaresco Riserva wines from the various single vineyards will be made in 2014 (and will be released in early 2018)" Robert Parker

1 Flasche à 0,75l | Barbaresco Muncagota Riserva DOCG 2011

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)

"Soft, caressing and voluptuous, the 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota is the sweetest and most open of these 2011 Riservas. Hard candy, wild flowers, mint and sweet spices meld together in a sensual, inviting Barbaresco that will drink nicely pretty much upon release. The 2011 strikes an attractive middle ground of raciness, texture and structure. As such, it will be one of the best early drinkers in this range. This is a gorgeous Muncagota." Antonio Galloni

"The 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota is reflective of the warm vintage. This is a solid and slightly rigid expression that shows hints of cherry marmalade, rum cake and prune. Those heavy aromas lift to reveal a wine with dark red cherry and mild spice at its core. Subtle background tones of balsam herb and rosemary oil add extra dimension. In the mouth, the wine delivers a point of sharpness or tartness. Overall, this wine is not as open as the others in this beautiful series of Riserva wines." Robert Parker

1 Flasche à 0,75l | Barbaresco Pora Riserva DOCG 2011

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)

"The 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Pora is sweet, round and sensual. Beautifully layered in the glass, the Pora is absolutely exquisite, with plenty of sweet red cherry, plum, mint and spice notes woven throughout. The Pora is typically the most open of the Produttori's nine Riservas, as it is once again this year. There is so much to like here." Antonio Galloni

1 Flasche à 0,75l | Barbaresco Rio Sordo Riserva DOCG 2011

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 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo is a bit darker and more ample than it usually is, a signature of the year. With time in the glass, the typical soaring floral/spiced Rio Sordo bouquet emerges. Dark, sensual and beautifully expressive, the Rio Sordo is another wine that will drink well with minimal cellaring." Antonio Galloni

"The Rio Sordo cru is known for medium-bodied wines that show elegance and finesse. The 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo is my favorite wine among this set of new Riserva releases. This gorgeous wine is seamless in approach with balanced aromatic intensity that bridges dark fruit aromas against ethereal notes of cola, tar and licorice. There is an irresistible dash of white truffle buried deep within. The wine is powerful and firmly constructed, but the quality of the tannins is silky and polished." Robert Parker

1 Flasche à 0,75l | Barbaresco Montestefano Riserva DOCG 2011

Montestefano Riserva 2011 bestätigt ihre Form der letzten Jahre. Kraftvoll, tiefgründig und mit Potenzial für eine gefühlte Ewigkeit. (superiore.de)

"The 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano is one of the least expressive of these wines. Inward, powerful and explosive, the 2011 is not in a mood to show much today, that is pretty clear. Still, there is an obvious energy here that is impossible to miss. A firm spine of tannin gives the wine much of its signature power. Dark red cherry, smoke, pomegranate and scorched earth blossom on the dramatic finish. A wine of real density and gravitas, the 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano stands out for its pure, unbridled energy and overall intensity." Antonio Galloni

"The 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano is the biggest of the bunch. This wine delivers a lasting sense of structure and intensity that is especially apparent as this Barbaresco hits the palate. The bouquet exhibits signs of ripe fruit with soft layers of blackberry preserves and cherry liqueur. The wine's tannic structure is solid and firmly stitched together, yet this wine is slightly softer and perhaps sweeter than the Riserva Muncagota, for example. This is yet another wine destined for long bottle-aging." Robert Parker

1 Flasche à 0,75l | Barbaresco Asili Riserva DOCG 2011

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 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Asili is one of the most refined wines in this range. Here the fruit shows more distinctly red-toned notes, with plenty of Asili creaminess, silkiness and overall texture, not to mention considerable density. There is plenty of Asili sexiness and radiance, but at the same time, there is also more tannin and overall brightness than I expected. Not that those things are bad. Far from it. I imagine the 2011 will reward readers with many years of exceptional drinking. This is one of the most polished wines in the range of 2011 Riservas. Then again, it's Asili." Antonio Galloni

"On the intensity scale, the 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Asili veers towards the lighter and more ethereal side of the Nebbiolo spectrum. The wine offers a delicately nuanced bouquet with menthol tones and balsam herb that segue to wild berry, light spice, blue violets and crushed mineral. Those mineral notes render a polished, dry and silky approach overall. The tannins are finely tuned and delineated with grace. This wine is more petite and feminine compared to the other Riservas released this year, but it shows its power and aging potential nonetheless." Robert Parker

1 Flasche à 0,75l | Barbaresco Pajé Riserva DOCG 2011

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)

"One of the highlights in this range, the 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Pajè is also one of the most classic of these 2011 Riservas. Beams of underlying acidity and minerality give the flavors considerable thrust and brightness. Sweet mentholated notes wrap around a core of plush, red-fleshed plum and pomegranate fruit, leading to a brisk, refreshing finish. What is left to say? The 2011 Pajè is absolutely gorgeous. It's as simple as that. Pajè is one of the cooler micro-climates the Produttori work with, and that was a help in 2011." Antonio Galloni

1 Flasche à 0,75l | Barbaresco Rabajà Riserva DOCG 2011

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 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is quite backward today, with intense, salivating tannins that cut through the fruit. The trademark Rabajà balsamic flavor profile is there, with notable darkness and plenty of structure that add complexity to a core of crystalline fruit. Energetic and powerful, with searing tannin and exceptional balance, the Rabajà is going to require considerable patience. The only question is how much." Antonio Galloni

"The 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is a beautiful wine that hits all the right buttons. This wine opens to evident ripeness, but that abundant dark fruit is well contained within the larger framework of this wine. The Rabajà cru delivers dense and well-structured Nebbiolo grapes with firm tannins and broad, muscular appeal. This Riserva opens nicely in the glass and offers a generous stream of dark fruit and spice flavors. This wine is poised to shed some of that baby fat with time." Robert Parker

1 Flasche à 0,75l | Barbaresco Montefico Riserva DOCG 2011

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 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico is another of the highlights in this range from the Produttori. Imagine the precision of Ovello, but with slightly darker fruit and more density and power through the middle. That's the Montefico. A regal, towering Barbaresco, the Montefico should provide thrilling drinking for the next several decades. A rush of dark cherry, plum, smoke, licorice and tobacco add nuance on the powerful, structured finish." Antonio Galloni

"The 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico is a wine that does its utmost to explore the concept of balance. This amazing effort is apparent from start to finish. The wine opens to some ripeness with dark fruit and Morello cherry that is countered by tart flavors of cassis and wild berry. The spice tones are well dosed and delineated, and the wine follows up with herbal and menthol notes that add elegance. The mouthfeel exhibits a good tenor of intensity that never goes too far."

1 Flasche à 0,75l | Barbaresco Ovello Riserva DOCG 2011

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)

"The 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello, from one of the coolest zones in Barbaresco, is superb. Here it is the wine's precision and energy - both hard to come by in 2011 - that really stand out. Pine, mint, chalk, bright red berries, blood orange and white pepper are some of the signatures in a brilliant, finely-cut Barbaresco that captures the best of both the vintage and this site. Don't miss it!" Antonio Galloni

"This vineyard site seems to have absorbed much of the summer heat. The 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello is a round and ripe wine with dark fruit, black cherry and black current. The Ovello vineyard expression is normally one of the lightest and more elegant wines in this Riserva series, but this is not the case in this vintage. There's more brawn and muscle than I remember in the past. In contrast, however, the mouthfeel is more streamlined and delineated than expected." Robert Parker
