Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco DOCG 2017

The Produttori del Barbaresco, founded in 1958, now has 51 members and controls more than 100 hectares (250 acres) of premium Nebbiolo vineyards in Barbaresco. Each family is in full control of its land, growing Nebbiolo grapes with century's old skill and dedication.

In 2017, the warm, dry growing season gave the Barbaresco an extra kick of richness that fills out its frame and adds so much immediacy. Given that 2016 is considered one the best vintages of modern Barbaresco, 2017 sure has done its best to give it a run for its money. Where the 2016 was ripe and red fruited, the 2017 shows rusticity and depth. These wines are an excellent counterpoint to the single crus, a regional blend that is greater than the sum of its parts in leaps and bounds.
