2016 Produttori del Barbaresco, Barbaresco, Asili Riserva

Produttori del Barbaresco is a historic cooperative based in the village of Barbaresco, where they have championed the local terroir since their re-establishment in 1958. This wine is made from Nebbiolo grown in the Asili cru, a prestigious vineyard site characterized by its calcareous limestone soils with sandy veins. In the glass, it shows refined notes of wild berry, blue flower, and crushed stone, balanced by a polished, silky texture. The 2016 vintage provided an extended growing season with ideal temperature shifts, resulting in a wine with remarkable clarity, precision, and structural definition. This release is built for long-term cellar aging, making it a sound addition for those seeking a benchmark expression of the region.
