About Produttori del Barbaresco 2016 Barbaresco Riserva, Ovello
Perhaps the world's most celebrated wine co-operative the Produttori Del Barbaresco, founded in 1956 is today considered one of the most consistent and top-quality producers in the region. Now some 56 growers contribute with a very wide array of vineyard holdings. This Riserva is sourced from the Ovello vineyard, a 50-acre vineyard with south-west/west exposure and calcareous limestone and clay soil. This 100% Nebbiolo aged 36 months in large oak barrels and 12 months in the bottle.
Vinous scored this 97+ saying "The 2016 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello is the most severe and angular of these wines. It will appeal most to die-hard classicists. Chalk, white pepper, mint and sweet red cherry fruit all grace this chiseled, beautifully translucent Barbaresco. As always, the Ovello needs a number of years in bottle to reveal its charms, which in 2016 are many. It is a positively stellar wine in every way."
