✨ wine.spec_sheet
The Produttori del Barbaresco Assortment Case represents the pinnacle of cooperative winemaking, bringing together nine distinct single-vineyard Riservas produced only in exceptional vintages. The cooperative's roots trace back to 1894 when Domizio Cavazza, the head of the Royal Enological School of Alba, recognized the unique potential of the region and united local growers. This spirit was revived in 1958 by the village priest, Don Fiorino Marengo, who sought to save small family farms from economic ruin. Crafted from 100% Nebbiolo, each cru in this assortment—including legendary sites like Rabaja, Asili, and Montestefano—is vinified identically with long skin contact and aging in large Slavonian oak casks. This uniform, traditional approach allows the specific terroir, soil composition, and microclimate of each individual vineyard to express itself with profound clarity.
