Produttori del Barbaresco Langhe Nebbiolo 2020 Bottle size: 750ml

‘Produttori del Barbaresco makes its Langhe Nebbiolo with declassified Barbaresco fruit (often from parcels on lower slopes) so production volumes are notably reduced in the better vintages when more of the prime fruit finds its way into their delicious village Barbaresco DOCG or indeed one of the classy nine Cru Riservas. This young 2020 Nebbiolo certainly shows great promise with an immediately attractive array of aromatics that boast dark cherry, damson plum, sweet herbs, blood orange and a slight menthol top note. Always wonderfully intense and potent, the palate displays a medium bodied weight of red and black berry fruits, macerated strawberries and sweet cherries with an underlying cool, suave elegance and a fresh acid vitality. The finish is creamy and plush with soft plump tannins, subtle piquant black liquorice notes and a pure, weightless length. Delightfully streamlined and accessible, this 2020 continues a fine run of vintages for Produttori del Barbaresco. Drink from release and over 5 to 8 years.’ – Greg Sherwood MW, 92+/100

‘Quite a spicy nosed, with a smoky note to the rich red berries. Medium-bodied with intense fruit flavors and a tight, just-right tannin structure. Drink now.’ – James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, 91/100

‘Bottled a year ago and from a riper vintage, the 2020 Langhe Nebbiolo is a gorgeous wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Sweet red cherry, cedar, tobacco, mint and dried flowers all grace this soft, inviting Langhe Nebbiolo from Produttori. 2022-2027’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 89/100
