Produttori del Barbaresco - Barbaresco 'Rio Sordo' Riserva??
This premier red wine originates from the Barbaresco DOCG in the Piedmont region of Italy. Produttori del Barbaresco was established in 1958 when a village priest and local growers joined forces to safeguard the Nebbiolo grape's identity and support the local farming community. The cooperative is comprised of fifty four families who exclusively grow Nebbiolo across 100 hectares of top-tier vineyards, following a philosophy of site-specific terroir expression and uncompromising quality.
Wine Description
The 'Rio Sordo' Riserva is a 100% Nebbiolo that displays a deep ruby red colour. Its sensory profile is defined by an elegant and silky personality, featuring a complex nose of violets, crushed red berries, and sweet spices. On the palate, it is medium to full bodied and beautifully balanced, offering notes of dark cherry, raspberry, and aniseed supported by supple, polished tannins. This wine is celebrated for its freshness and accessibility relative to other Riservas, yet it retains significant complexity and a long finish. It is fermented at 30°C with 28 days of skin contact, then aged for 30 months in large oak barrels and 9 months in the bottle. Its optimal drinking window generally spans 10 to 20 years from the vintage.
Food Pairing
The silky structure and refined nature of 'Rio Sordo' make it an excellent partner for delicate meat dishes such as rabbit stew, roasted poultry, or veal scallopini. It also complements truffle-infused recipes, mushroom-based pastas, and medium-aged cheeses. This pairing highlights the wine's depth and character.
