Barbaresco, Produttori del Barbaresco 2020

95 points | Monica Larner
The 2020 Barbaresco boasts an ample set of aromas with wild cherry, blue flower, sweet spice and crushed limestone. As always, the wine paints an exciting and authentic portrait of Nebbiolo, albeit with a little more richness and texture in this vintage. This is especially true in terms of the palate, where the wine offers mid-weight intensity with melting tannins. This ambitious release of 300,000 bottles is slated to hit the market in fall 2023. 2025 – 2045

Produttori del Barbaresco is one of Italy’s most respected wine producers and a name that every wine lover should know. Formed in 1958 by local growers, it unites more than 50 small family vineyards to produce wines that are honest, consistent, and full of character. Each bottle shows why Barbaresco is so highly regarded, with balance, structure, and purity of fruit. The 2020 vintage is especially impressive, offering bright red fruit, fine tannins, and a finish that speaks of real craftsmanship.
