This Riserva is made from 100% Nebbiolo, from the Montestefano vineyard in Piedmont. Due to its powerful character, it is sometimes called the “Barolo of Barbaresco”, exhibiting a great nose of refined minerals, red and black fruits, violet, and baking spice.
Produttori del Barbaresco is a cooperative winery, formed by 19 grape growers and a parish priest, Don Fiorino Marengo, in 1958. Don Fiorino’s home served as the first cellar for the producers, before the construction of the current cellar at the foot of Barbaresco tower. The winery emphasises purity, unity, and native grapes, strictly using Nebbiolo to create a beautiful range of Barbaresco wine.
Montestefano is full-bodied and absorbing on the palate, with strong notes of cherry jam, blackberry, raspberry, and dried herbs. The vineyard resides at 270 metres above sea level, on calcareous limestone soils. In the finish, look for striking notes of liquorice and mint. It has a big tannic structure that will soften with ageing in a cellar. The wine was aged before release, for a minimum of 30 months in oak barrels. Enjoy it alongside gamey meats, mature cheese, or an earthy risotto dish.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
