✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Widely revered as the gold standard of viticultural cooperatives, Produttori del Barbaresco traces its ideological ancestry to Domizio Cavazza's 1894 Cantine Sociali, before its modern rebirth in 1958 orchestrated by local parish priest Don Fiorino Marengo and nineteen grower families. Today comprising over 50 member-growers managing approximately 120 hectares exclusively planted to Nebbiolo across the commune of Barbaresco, the cooperative oversees quintessential Langhe terroir characterized by calcareous-clay Sant'Agata marls and steep, sun-drenched hillsides. Under the longstanding stewardship of Managing Director Aldo Vacca, Produttori follows an unapologetically traditional cellar regimen: spontaneous temperature-controlled fermentations, month-long skin macerations with submerged caps, and lengthy maturation exclusively in massive neutral Slavonian oak botti. In premier vintages, the cellar vinifies nine legendary single-vineyard crus identically—including Asili, Rabajà, Montestefano, Ovello, and Pajè—to transparently showcase microclimate and soil nuances, yielding structured, classically austere, and exceptionally ageworthy Nebbiolo expressions.
