Produttori del Barbaresco - Barbaresco 'Ovello' Riserva 2020
Introduction
The Produttori del Barbaresco 'Ovello' 2020 is a red wine from the Piedmont region of Italy, specifically the Barbaresco DOCG appellation. It is a single-vineyard (Cru) wine sourced from the Ovello subregion, which is Barbaresco's northernmost and largest cru.
The Produttori del Barbaresco is a cooperative winery founded in 1958. It is renowned for setting the benchmark for classic Barbaresco, with its single-cru Riservas, like the 'Ovello', defining the expression of the region's finest noble vineyards. The winery's philosophy centres on traditional methods—such as ageing in large oak casks (botti)—to produce transparent wines that authentically showcase the region's finest terroirs
Wine Description
This wine is 100% Nebbiolo. It typically displays a powerful and structured expression due to the Ovello vineyard's cooler, northern exposures and predominately clayey soils.
The aroma is fragrant and complex, shaped by red berry, forest floor, new leather, and spice notes. Additional aromatic nuances include woodsy pine, black raspberries, sweet floral perfume, and liquorice candies. The palate is massive, packed, and full-bodied, often described as having a more linear style. It presents pure cherry and raspberry fruit with accents of white pepper, herbs, and mineral. The body is full, with a backbone of firm, chalky, and well-integrated tannins, balanced by vibrant, racy acidity. Stylistic notes include remarkable depth and complexity in the mid-palate, an energetic yet refined structure, and a long finish with a mineral core. The wine is intended for long-term cellaring. The optimal drinking window is generally suggested to be from 2026 to 2050. The wine is dry and produced using sustainable farming practices.
