Produttori del Barbaresco is a cooperative established in Barbaresco in the 1950s that is not only one of the greatest producers in the famed Barbaresco appellation but sets the highest standards of winemaking for any cooperative in the world. Their Langle Nebbiolo is produced from a selection of lighter grapes from various vineyards in within the appellation planted to limestone and clay soils rich in calcium with sandy veins. It was fermented in concrete tanks and aged in large oak barrels. Full bodied and ripe with dark red fruit and spicy notes and powerful, well integrated tannins in the finish, this classic Piedmontese red is recommended with pastas and pizzas, white and red meat, rich fish dishes.
The 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo is a serious wine that will give readers a very good idea of what is in store with this vintage. Just bottled, the 2021 shows great depth and tons of character. Firm tannins wrap around a core of dark red Nebbiolo, with embryonic hints of spice and flowers that develop with a bit of air. As always, the Produttori's Langhe Nebbiolo is made 100% from Barbaresco-designated vineyards. The 2021 spent 20 days on the skins, unheard of for a wine at this level. It is, quite frankly, better than a few wines from more prestigious appellations. Don't miss it.
