The Barbaresco of the Producers of Barbaresco is one of the finest red wines of Piedmont, with an ancient history. It was mentioned for the first time at the end of the 18th century but it was around 1894 that Barbaresco began to conquer the world thanks to Domino Gavazza and his Cantine Sociali. After him, in 1958, Don Fiorino Marengo founded Produttori del Barbaresco.

Today the crops of Barbaresco are concentrated in some municipalities in the province of Cuneo and in the famous area of the Langhe. These areas are very rainy and foggy but for this reason they are ideal for Nebbiolo, a delicate vine that requires a slow maturation so as to continue, in some years, until late November. The calcareous-clayey soils, together with the altitude of the area, are key elements of its cultivation, to the full advantage of the quality of Barbaresco.

It is a warm and balanced red, with a dense and delicate tannic texture and hints of raspberry, blueberry, and currant. It has good acidity and a persistent aftertaste. It is an elegant wine, to be paired with pasta with meat sauces and risotto with truffles or mushrooms.
