Tasting Notes
One of the all time great Co-op wines in the world. It's not often wines from the local co-operative in any country around the world produce great wines, but Produttori del Barbaresco is the exception. Sourced from 51 different growers from around the region, the DOCG Barbaresco is such a reliably good wine regardless of vintage. It's made in the traditional style where one sees little new oak but instead the influence of large format botti, and the wines are more focused around savouriness and perfume, and a fine boned tannin structure. These wines age well for 10+ years. - Chris L
Arguably Italy’s most important fine wine region, Piedmont is synonymous with Nebbiolo, Barolo, and Barbaresco. It’s also home to a wide array of other compelling reds and whites that range from the austere to the juicy and joyful.
LOCATION:
Northwest Italy, bordering France and Switzerland, with the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south.
TERROIR:
Rolling hills and foggy mornings define Langhe and Roero. Soils are mostly calcareous marl with sandy or clay-rich layers depending on the site. Continental climate with cold winters and warm summers.
VARIETIES:
Nebbiolo is king, producing powerful, tannic reds. Barbera and Dolcetto round out the red trio. For whites, look to Arneis, Cortese (Gavi), and Timorasso. Moscato is important in the Asti area.
