Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco 2016  - First Bottle

Reviews

95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
The 2016 Barbaresco is a tight and beautiful wine that will require more time to unwind and soften. This beautifully balanced vintage is characterized by a tight inner core of fruit that underlines the graceful aging capacity of these wines. The 2016 is shaping up to be one destined for long cellar aging. Now in its youth, the wine offers wild berry, rose and licorice aromas.
95 Wine Enthusiast -
Enticing aromas of violet, woodland berry, loose vineyard soil, wild mint and a hint of spearmint shape the intensely fragrant nose. The tense, young palate is still nervous but already boasts finesse, showing wild raspberry, crunchy red cherry, white pepper and star anise. Firm, refined tannins and racy acidity give it a linear, almost austere elegance, while bright acidity keeps it focused and balanced. Drink 2026–2036.
94 Vinous -
The 2016 Barbaresco is a stunning wine with tremendous richness for this bottling. Ample, deep and powerful, the 2016 exudes pedigree and class from start to finish. I can't remember a straight Barbaresco here with this much fruit density and unctuous richness, and yet there is more than enough tannin and overall structure to give the wine its classically leaning feel. A blast of sweet red cherry fruit, tobacco, menthol licorice and smoke hits the potent finish. What a wine!

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
"The 2016 Barbaresco is a stunning wine" Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Having tasted this wine now on multiple occasions and fully stocked my cellar, I can say without question, this is the best young Produttori I have ever tasted. This also happens to be the best value in fine wine today. I really don't want to say too much more as we only have 10 cases to sell, but you will not be disappointed with this wine.
