Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco 2021

This is likely the best vintage I’ve tasted of this wine. Dark cherry, raspberry, mint, sage and liquorice root, baking spices, and a whole lot of dried flower perfume. It’s medium to full-bodied, dense and ripe, packed with dark red fruit, something quite earthy and stony, especially with its deep and ferrous grainy tannin, and there’s black tea and floral mouth-perfume, fresh too, with a firm finish of outstanding length. In 2021 this standard wine is up to riserva quality. 96 points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.

2021 was an exceptional year in the Langhe as is clearly demonstrated by the gorgeous 2021 Barbaresco from Produttori. It boasts beautiful aromas of violet, rose, cake spice and mint that carry over to the elegantpalate along with succulent red cherry. Crushed raspberry star anise. Taut, refined tannins and bright acidity keep it impeccably balanced. Made from blending Nebbiolo from different sites, this is the firm’s classic Barbaresco and is one of the greatest values in Italian fine wine.

An intriguing wine with aromas of potpurri, dried cherries and candied orange zest. Smoky and juicy on the palate with firm, dusty yet ripe tannins, a full body and a long, savoury finish. Drinkable now, but it has great potential for the long haul.
