Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Ovello Riserva | 2021 | 750ml

About This Wine

Ovello is the northernmost and largest of Barbaresco's classic crus, close to the Tanaro river, and gives a fresh, high-toned style. Offered in bottle and magnum.

In great vintages the cooperative bottles single-vineyard Barbaresco from nine classic sites as Riserva, aged for about four years before release. In other years that fruit goes into the classic Barbaresco blend.

Produttori del Barbaresco is a cooperative founded in 1958 in the village of Barbaresco, with roots in a growers' cellar set up there in 1894. Its member families farm more than 100 hectares of Nebbiolo, roughly a sixth of the appellation, and the cooperative makes only Nebbiolo.

Serving

Serve at 60 to 65°F, and decant young bottles for an hour or two. Pairs with grilled beef or venison.

About Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is a powerful yet pale red with cherry, rose, tar and dried herbs, searing acidity and formidable tannins built for aging. Its cool Piedmont home sharpens its tannic, aromatic profile.
