Red dry
The 2019 vintage was a cooler, more classical harvest year. The wines from this vintage are distinguished by their structure and are exceptionally well-suited for extended aging. The aromas are expressive – with notes of strawberry jam, wild thyme, mint and wildflowers on the nose. The Asili vineyard wine stands out for its elegance and refinement, with a palate dominated by red berries and silky tannins. This wine is well-balanced, showing playful acidity and the classic subtlety of Barbaresco.
Serve at 16–18 °C with roast lamb, wild poultry dishes, fresh egg pasta seasoned with truffles, or hard to medium-intensity cheeses.
Youthful fruit character of ripe cherries and violets. On the palate, the wine is firm, rich in extract and medium-bodied. Precise on the finish. The tannins are a little rustic. Will improve and gain complexity as it matures.
Produttori del Barbaresco, founded in 1958, now has 51 members and controls more than 100 hectares of premium Nebbiolo vineyards in Barbaresco. Each family is in full control of its land, growing Nebbiolo grapes with centuries old skill and dedication. The vinery produces a Barbaresco DOCG, a blend of Nebbiolo grapes harvested from different vineyards, and a simpler Nebbiolo Langhe suited for earlier consumption. In great vintages, nine single-vineyard Barbarescos are produced from nine classic premium sites within the Barbaresco village boundaries: Asili, Rabajà, Pora, Montestefano, Ovello, Pajè, Montefico, Muncagota, and Rio Sordo. These are the geographical names of sites where Nebbiolo grapes have always been cultivated. The name of the single-vineyards, the total number of bottles produced, and the name of the owners of the vineyards are marked on the labels. Produttori del Barbaresco, which vinifies only Nebbiolo grapes, produce around 550 000 bottles per year. In a good vintage they are divided among Barbaresco (50%), single vineyard Barbarescos (30%) and Nebbiolo Langhe (20%).
