Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco 2015
Piedmont, ItalyIn 1958, the priest of the village of Barbaresco foresaw that the only way small properties could survive was by banding together, so he gathered together 19 growers and founded the Produttori del Barbaresco. From its humble beginnings making the first three vintages in the church basement, Produttori del Barbaresco has grown into a 50+ member co-operative with more than 250 acres of nebbiolo vineyards in the Barbaresco appellation. This feels every inch of nebbiolo's grip, with raging, ragged tannins housing ripe plum, thorny wild blackberry, raspberry, and roses. Even opening a day in advance doesn't tame the tannins here (and the wash of Brettanomyces doesn't help), but perhaps a meaty pasta dish would do the trick.Tasted: 01 November 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $50.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
