About Produttori Del Barbaresco 2017 Barbaresco Riserva, Pora
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 grower contribute with a very wide array of vineyard holdings. This Riserva is sourced from the Pora vineyard, the 21 acre single vineyard closest to the Tanaro river. The vines enjoy the heat of the morning sun in the summer and a more fertile soil than vineyards at a higher elevation. This microclimate translates to a Barbaresco with approachable tannins. Pora is best enjoyed in the first 20 years of its life. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks at 85°F with maceration on the skins for 28 days. It is then aged 36 months in large oak casks and bottle refined for eight months before release.
