The Produttori del Barbaresco Cooperative is one of the most successful cooperatives in the world of winemaking. The winery is one of the stars of the Barbaresco region in the Piedmont region in Northern Italy. Established in 1958, there are now 51 growers who contribute their Nebbiolo grapes to the cooperative. The region covers over 100 hectares of premium nebbiolo grapes. In 1967, they were amongst the first wineries to produce single vineyard Barbaresco’s – there is nine different Cru Riservas produced only in exceptional vintages like 2015 and next year the 2016’s.
These Single Vineyard Riservas that are spectacular for the money and those in the know stock up. Verticals going back 40 years have shown how great these wines can be. Superbly located – Gaja (6 min away) and Giacosa (13 min away) are neighbours whose wines sell for 4-7 times this price.
A must in every connoisseur’s cellar, a bargain in the expensive world of Nebbiolo not to be missed!! Quantities are very limited, in some cases only a couple bottles available for sale.
