\nWinemaker Notes\n\n\nClassic Barbaresco color with scents of spices, pepper and black cherries. Powerful, firm, elegant and ethereal.\nPair with fresh pasta, meat dishes, particularly lamb and feathered game and mild cheeses.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRP93\n\nRobert Parker's Wine Advocate\n\nPackaged in its distinctive brown paper label, the Produttori del Barbaresco 2018 Barbaresco is a beautifully lean and luminous expression of Nebbiolo, and that pretty color should remain intact over time. The aromas are bold and ripe with dark and purple fruit, but the bouquet shows interesting twists with earth, truffle, licorice and grilled herb. As the wine opens in the glass, you begin to notice heavier aromas of raisin and dried apricot.It wears a warm-vintage signature for sure, and for that reason, I would suggest a shorter drinking window for the 2018. Best After 2023.\n\n\n\n\n\nJS93\n\nJames Suckling\n\nLovely barbaresco, with all the typical nebbiolo characteristics, such as red berries, mushrooms and dried leaves, as well as hints of bitter orange peel and spice. All this follows through to the medium-to full-bodied palate, where fine, lightly firm tannins add a little grip and additional focus. Compact, but bursting with flavor. Delicious now, but give it a year or two. It will only get better.\n\nWE90\n\nWine Enthusiast\n\nViolet and red berry aromas mingle with dark spice, leather and camphor. The full-bodied palate offers cherry marinated in spirits, orange rind, black tea and a hint of menthol alongside solid tannins.\n\n\n\n\n |
