Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco DOCG 2021

''This is Barbaresco and and one of the greatest values in Italian fine wine." 96 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast Magazine

$99.99

Happy Sunday Folks! For our first Barbaresco for 2025 we have an absolute standout. The 2021 vintage in Barbaresco is revered as one of the all-time greats, and this wine from stalwart Produttori has set a benchmark in terms of quality and cost. The biggest and most respected local and international wine critics are giving it ratings usually reserved for examples priced at over $200! Even Gary Walsh from The Wine Front scored it 96 Points and places it at a level of quality that would normally only be found in a Riserva release from Produttori. (now that's a serious endorsement)

''This is likely the best vintage I’ve tasted of this wine. Dark cherry, raspberry, mint, sage and liquorice root, baking spices, and a whole lot of dried flower perfume. It’s medium to full-bodied, dense and ripe, packed with dark red fruit, something quite earthy and stony, especially with its deep and ferrous grainy tannin, and there’s black tea and floral mouth-perfume, fresh too, with a firm finish of outstanding length. In 2021, this standard wine is up to Riserva quality.'' 96 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

"2021 was an exceptional year as is clearly demonstrated by the gorgeous 2021 Barbaresco from Produttori. It boasts beautiful aromas of violet, rose, cake spice and mint that carry over to the elegant palate along with succulent red cherry, crushed raspberry and star anise. Taut, refined tannins and bright acidity keep it impeccably balanced. This is Barbaresco and and one of the greatest values in Italian fine wine." 96 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast Magazine

''I can't remember a Barbaresco from Produttori with more immediate charm, yet with the power to age for decades; think of this beauty a little like the 2016, perhaps just a touch less deep but more explosive. This is a marvellous 2021 Barbaresco.'' 95 Points, Ian D'agata

This is a wine that allows the drinker to enjoy a level of quality that usually commands prices in the hundreds of dollars — not just $99.99. It is one of the greatest values in Italian fine wine; don't miss out on this opportunity.
