Tasting Notes: A wine of great depth, with ripe red fruit—cherry, raspberry—at its core, layered with earthy undertones, floral notes, and a touch of spice. The tannins are firm and well-integrated, providing a solid backbone while maintaining the elegance that defines Barbaresco. The wine’s acidity is perfectly balanced, adding brightness and freshness to the rich, textured mouthfeel. It’s a wine that will evolve beautifully with time, revealing more nuance and complexity as it ages.
95 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The Barbaresco Riserva Ovello is a massive, packed wine. Graphite, crushed rocks, dried herbs and cedar open first. Ovello tends to produce a more linear style of Barbaresco, and that is very much the case here as well. However, the wine also possesses notable depth and layers in the mid-palate. It's a gorgeous wine in the making. (Drink between 2025-2035)"
Food pairing : Pair with fresh pasta, meat dishes, particularly lamb and feathered game, and mild cheeses.
The Domain: Founded in 1958, the priest of the village of Barbaresco, recognizing that the only way small properties could survive was by joining their efforts, gathered together nineteen small 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 to a 52 member co-operative with 250 acres of Nebbiolo vineyards in the Barbaresco appellation and an annual production of over 500,000 bottles. Its vineyards amount to almost 1/6 of the vineyards of the area. Each member is in full control of their land, growing Nebbiolo grapes with the skill and dedication they have honed over generations.
Playing a key role in elevating the quality level of Barbaresco over the years, Produttori del Barbaresco produces a simpler Nebbiolo Langhe, a Barbaresco blend and nine single vineyard wines produced in premier vineyards: Asili, Rabaja, Pora, Montestefano, Ovello, Paje, Montefico, Muncagota and Rio Sordo.
