Possessing some of the best value in the wine world, Produttori's full range of Barbarescos are known to be routinely outstanding, and never fall short of the hope for each bottle. Even the basic bottling takes juice from the very top crus in the region, all of which in their singular form stand out regularly from their most expensive neighbors.

Produttori del Barbaresco

An estate borne of struggle, the Produttori del Barbaresco is one of the world's greatest co-operatives, in terms of recognition and quality. Though the names of their famous vineyards that stamp the single-vineyard bottlings are known to well-heeled collectors, a majority of those famous vineyards are in fact owned by the 60-some-odd members of the Produttori. In years in which the fruit of one of the top crus is less than entirely perfect, it is de-classified into the flagship "Barbaresco" cuvee; otherwise, we may see up to nine different "Crus" on the famed labels.

Still today, the same traditional methods are employed in the cellars, with a submerged cap over the 18-21 day fermentations, and up to the Riserva-mandated three years in traditional botti. There's no glitz, no glam, and as most things do, we've come back around to enjoying the most traditional and true side of Nebbiolo, which is perhaps best exemplified in the Produttori's wines.

The Produttori del Barbaresco 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo comes from an area that is further removed from the Tanaro River and has southwestern exposures. It shows a typical profile for Nebbiolo with rich fruit, a velvety mouthfeel and textural volume that is delivered with ample blackberry, blackcurrant and spice. The character of this wine is generous and rich. There is plenty of meat on these bones.

The 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo is pretty closed today, which is probably a very good sign for its aging prospects, as this site tends to produce wines that are more open than this. Dark cherry, plum, leather, incense and tobacco offer a decidedly somber expression of Rio Sordo. The 2020 clearly needs time.
