Produttori Del Barbaresco, Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo 2016 ^Sale

Produttori del Barbaresco is often regarded(and rightly so in my humble opinion)as the best Co-op in the world. With 51 members and 100 hectares, they make some of the best Nebbiolo's in the world. In the best Vintages nine single vineyard Barbaresco's, a Barbaresco D.O.C.G and a Langhe Nebbiolo are made.

The 2016 Vintage will rightly be regarded as one of the greatest in Barbaresco for some time to come. The 2016 single vineyard Rio Sordo, usually one of the most easy going of the single-vineyards, is a sombre, brooding wine showing the darker side of nebbiolo fruit. It received 96/100 pts from the Wine Advocate and 94/100 from Vinous.
