Produttori del Barbaresco Riserva 'Ovello' 2020 Magnum

(Comes in Official Produttori Timber box)

The Ovello area occupies the northernmost part of the municipality of Barbaresco and is a large hill with exposures to both the West/South-West and East/South-East. Winery Note

The Ovello vineyard has some northern exposures and generally represents a cooler growing site. You can expect intense fruit flavors and more prominent tannins as a result. The Produttori del Barbaresco 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello fits the bill. Vine growth starts much later and usually lasts longer to produce dark intensity and bold aromas in the wines. In the cold years, the tannins can be aggressive, but in the hot years like 2020, they show better balance. This wine offers ferrous notes of iron and rusty nail followed by cherry-driven sweetness.

Drink 2026 – 2050 95 Pts Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate

Red berry, forest floor, new leather and spice shape the fragrant nose on the fantastic 2020 Ovello Riserva. Showing the structure derived from the cru’s predominately clayey soils, it has a backbone of firm but refined tannins that accompany juicy Marasca cherry, tangerine and spicy notes of star anise. Drink 2027–2032 95/100 Kerin O’Keefe
