Produttori del Barbaresco: 2019 Single-Vineyard Riservas

Produttori del Barbaresco is regarded as one of the leading winemaking cooperatives not only in Italy but all over the world. Founded in 1958, its roots date back to 1894 when Domizio Cavazza, headmaster of the Royal Enological School of Alba in Piedmont, created the first cooperative - the "Cantine Sociali" - by gathering together nine Barbaresco vineyard owners to make wine in the local castle that he owned.

Nowadays the cooperative counts 51 members (where each family is in full control of its land) and together they manage more than 100 hectares of premium Nebbiolo vineyards.

In great vintages nine single-vineyard Barbarescos are produced from nine classic premium sites within the Barbaresco village boundaries, where Nebbiolo grapes have always been cultivated, making up about 30% of their total production.
