NV Assortment Case
⏳ Drinking Window
Typically best enjoyed 8 to 25 years from the vintage release, with the Crus requiring several years of cellar aging to soften their firm tannins and develop complex tertiary notes of tar, roses, and leather.
🍽️ Food & Wine Pairings
Slow-cooked beef braises, fresh egg pasta tossed with butter and shaved white truffles, and mature hard cheeses such as Castelmagno.
✨ Technical Specifications
Founded in 1958 by the local priest Don Fiorino Marengo, the Produttori del Barbaresco cooperative has set the global gold standard for cooperative winemaking. This Assortment Case represents the ultimate exploration of the Barbaresco appellation, typically featuring a selection of their nine legendary single-vineyard Riservas—such as Asili, Rabajà, Montestefano, and Ovello—which are only released in exceptional vintages. Made from 100% Nebbiolo, these wines undergo traditional long maceration and aging in large Slavonian oak casks. Because the winemaking recipe is kept identical across all bottlings, this collection serves as a pure, unadulterated masterclass in how subtle differences in soil composition, altitude, and exposure shape the final expression of Piedmont's noble grape.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1958 by parish priest Don Fiorino Marengo and nineteen local growers, Produttori del Barbaresco was established to revive the historic cooperative model first initiated by Domizio Cavazza in 1894 in the Langhe hills of Piedmont, Italy. Widely celebrated as one of the world's preeminent wine cooperatives, the estate unites over fifty member families dedicated exclusively to the cultivation of the Nebbiolo grape across exceptional vineyard sites. Upholding steadfast traditional winemaking principles, including extended macerations and aging in large oak casks, the winery produces benchmark expressions that embody pure varietal typicity and terroir transparency. In stellar vintages, Produttori crafts nine renowned single-vineyard Cru Riservas alongside historic tribute bottlings, exemplifying the profound elegance, structure, and longevity of Barbaresco.
