It appears with a bright ruby red colour, revealing an olfactory profile defined by intense \u003cstrong\u003ered fruit aromas\u003c\/strong\u003e enriched with elegant spicy notes. On the palate, it shows a decidedly dry nature and a \u003cstrong\u003efull body\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by powerful tannins that lead the tasting towards a long and persistent finish. Its solid structure allows it to withstand ageing for decades, developing further complexity over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the Barbaresco area, in the heart of the Langhe. The vineyards, spread across optimal \u003cstrong\u003esouth, west and east-facing slopes\u003c\/strong\u003e, take root in silty-clay and calcareous soils that lend a dry note to the flavour profile. The local microclimate, characterised by rainfall and banks of fog, encourages a \u003cstrong\u003eslow ripening\u003c\/strong\u003e of the Nebbiolo grapes, allowing for a late autumn harvest. Founded in 1958, the \u003cstrong\u003eProduttori del Barbaresco\u003c\/strong\u003e winery cultivates these historic plots to reflect the specific environmental conditions in a wine with a well-defined character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with crushing the grape bunches, followed by a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003efermentation in steel\u003c\/strong\u003e maintained at thirty degrees. The must rests in contact with the skins for twenty-eight days, with frequent daily pump-overs necessary to extract colour and tannic structure. Subsequently, maturation takes place for twenty-four months in \u003cstrong\u003elarge barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e of oak or chestnut, a crucial stage that stabilises the profile and supports the \u003cstrong\u003eflavour persistence\u003c\/strong\u003e. At the table, it pairs perfectly with flavourful risottos, egg pasta, meats, game and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlready mentioned in the eighteenth century, Barbaresco established itself in 1894 thanks to Domino Gavazza. This tradition was revived in 1958 by Don Fiorino Marengo, founder of the \u003cstrong\u003eProduttori del Barbaresco\u003c\/strong\u003e, who today cultivate 120 hectares in the Langhe. In this unique terroir, the mists support the slow ripening of the \u003cstrong\u003epure Nebbiolo\u003c\/strong\u003e until well into November, forging its classic elegance. The 2022 vintage, awarded \u003cstrong\u003e94 points by James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e, embodies this noble centuries-old heritage, offering a structured wine with formidable ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Produttori del Barbaresco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45843081298091,"sku":"59150","price":29.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/produttori-del-barbaresco-barbaresco-2022_59150_1_bd20f5c8-6a58-44d0-b096-514df3e3d697.webp?v=1773796307","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-nl\/products\/produttori-del-barbaresco-barbaresco-2022","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
