Description
What kind of wine is it
Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco is a still red wine from Piedmont made from Nebbiolo grapes. Belonging to the renowned Barbaresco denomination, it expresses a style that is both dry and delicate, offering a palate supported by powerful tannins and a persistent finish. This ruby red wine reveals characteristic aromas of red fruit and spices, maintaining an aromatic profile that gradually opens up in the glass. Its significant technical structure gives it a remarkable longevity estimated at 10-15 years, making it suitable for a slow and fascinating evolution over time.
Where does it come from
The wine originates in the municipality of Barbaresco, within the enchanting area of the Langhe in Piedmont. The vineyards benefit from a triple exposure to the south, west and east, set in a climate characterised by rainfall and autumn mists. These specific atmospheric conditions are essential to ensure the slow ripening of the Nebbiolo, crucial for the development of its colour and aromatic profile. The silty-clay and calcareous-clay soils, combined with an optimal altitude, provide the vines with the necessary nutrients to give the wine a notable structural tension, consolidating the agricultural importance of this territory.
How is it produced
Vinification begins with fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. During this phase, the must undergoes a long maceration on the skins for twenty-eight days, accompanied by daily pump-overs to optimally extract the phenolic components. Afterwards, the liquid is separated from the skins to begin the maturation phase. Ageing takes place for twenty-four months in oak barrels, a crucial step that rounds out the flavour profile and stabilises the complex tannic structure before the wine reaches its perfect balance.
History and Curiosities
Famous since the eighteenth century, this iconic wine has conquered the world since 1894 thanks to the vision of Domino Gavazza. His legacy lives on today in the Produttori del Barbaresco, the historic cooperative founded in 1958 by the union of families deeply devoted to viticulture. Today, the one hundred and twenty hectares of vineyards give rise to masterpieces of inestimable value. This sublime 2022 vintage in Magnum format enhances the nobility of Nebbiolo, an excellence capable of enchanting the most discerning palates and receiving outstanding ratings from international critics.
