Originating from the renowned Ovello vineyard site within the Barbaresco zone, the 2020 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Riserva Ovello showcases the full concentration possible from late-harvest Nebbiolo grapes grown on clay-heavy terroir. As a Riserva classification, this bottling undergoes extended maturation in neutral wood casks according to Piedmontese DOCG standards, developing the secondary complexity reserved for serious cellar candidates.

The aromatic profile centers on sun-dried tart cherry, crushed violet, cured tobacco, and espresso, layered with subtle leather and wet stone undertones. On the palate, primary dark fruit yields to savory spice while maintaining bright acidity that keeps the finish clean. Fine, polished tannins provide substantial structure without heaviness, allowing minerals and dried basil notes to dominate the lengthy conclusion.

Food Pairings

  • Braised meats such as wild boar ragù or oxtail stew
  • Aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano or Castelmagno
  • Truffle-forward dishes including taglierini al tartufo or roasted mushroom risotto
  • Herb-seasoned roast lamb or grilled pork loin

Serve this wine at approximately sixteen degrees Celsius to allow the structural tannins to soften while preserving its signature freshness. With proper cellaring conditions, the tannic framework will continue to round out, offering optimal drinking window between four and twelve years from release.

95 Points
"The Ovello vineyard has some northern exposures and generally represents a cooler growing site. You can expect intense fruit flavors and more prominent tannins as a result. The Produttori del Barbaresco 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello fits the bill. Vine growth starts much later and usually lasts longer to produce dark intensity and bold aromas in the wines. In the cold years, the tannins can be aggressive, but in the hot years like 2020, they show better balance. This wine offers ferrous notes of iron and rusty nail followed by cherry-driven sweetness."
