Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco 2022 is a true icon of Italian winemaking. This historic group brings together over fifty families to tend the finest Nebbiolo vineyards in Piedmont. The 2022 growing season was very warm and dry. These extreme conditions led to smaller grapes with thick skins. This resulted in a wine with deep color and rich, spicy flavors.
The winemakers fermented the grapes in stainless steel tanks for twenty four days. This long time on the skins helps extract the bold tannins and aromas that make this wine famous. It then rested in large oak casks to develop a smooth texture. While some modern producers use small new barrels, Produttori stays true to traditional methods. This focus on heritage allows the pure fruit and the unique character of the soil to lead the way.
In your glass, you will find a red wine with great depth and weight. The nose is full of dark cherry and plum mixed with pretty floral notes. As you sip, you will taste layers of cloves, licorice, and mocha. The texture is resonant and satisfying. It has a balanced personality that makes it very easy to enjoy even in its early stages.
This vintage is a stellar showing for the region. It includes high quality fruit that is often used for rare reserve wines. It is a great bottle for any cellar and will age gracefully for over a decade. You can pair this red wine with fresh pasta or roasted meats to see why it is a global favorite for connoisseurs.
Fresh pasta with meat sauce, roasted white or red meats, and aged cheeses
The 2022 Barbaresco is a pretty rich, heady wine. Dark cherry/plum fruit, cloves, licorice and mocha build as the 2022 shows off its considerable depth. This is one of the few 2022s that is quite resonant texturally. The aromatics could be more lifted and the tannins could use a bit more polish, but those qualities were next to impossible to come by in 2022. The inclusion of some juice from Riserva lots is a great help. All things considered, this is a stellar showing.
