From the prestigious Produttori del Barbaresco comes the 2020 Barbaresco Riserva “Ovello,” a wine that embodies the strength and refinement of this iconic region. The Ovello vineyard, one of the top crus in Barbaresco, produces wines of exceptional complexity and aging potential. This Riserva, crafted with care and precision, is a true testament to the estate’s commitment to showcasing Barbaresco’s finest terroirs.

The 2020 vintage is a wine of great depth, with ripe red fruit—cherry, raspberry—at its core, layered with earthy undertones, floral notes, and a touch of spice. The tannins are firm and well-integrated, providing a solid backbone while maintaining the elegance that defines Barbaresco. The wine’s acidity is perfectly balanced, adding brightness and freshness to the rich, textured mouthfeel. It’s a wine that will evolve beautifully with time, revealing more nuance and complexity as it ages.

This Barbaresco Riserva is a wine meant for slow sipping, ideal for pairing with hearty dishes like braised meats, truffle pasta, or aged cheeses. For collectors and lovers of Nebbiolo, the 2020 “Ovello” offers a perfect opportunity to experience the power and grace of Barbaresco, both in its youthful state and as it ages into something even more remarkable.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello is a massive, packed wine. Graphite, crushed rocks, dried herbs and cedar open first. Ovello tends to produce a more linear style of Barbaresco, and that is very much the case here as well. However, the 2020 also possesses notable depth and layers in the mid-palate. It's a gorgeous wine in the making." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

"The Ovello vineyard has some northern exposures and generally represents a cooler growing site. You can expect intense fruit flavors and more prominent tannins as a result. The Produttori del Barbaresco 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello fits the bill. Vine growth starts much later and usually lasts longer to produce dark intensity and bold aromas in the wines. In the cold years, the tannins can be aggressive, but in the hot years like 2020, they show better balance. This wine offers ferrous notes of iron and rusty nail followed by cherry-driven sweetness." —Monica Larner

"Red berry, forest floor, new leather and spice shape the fragrant nose on the fantastic 2020 Ovello Riserva. Showing the structure derived from the cru’s predominately clayey soils, it has a backbone of firm but refined tannins that accompany juicy Marasca cherry, tangerine and spicy notes of star anise." —Kerin O'Keefe

Tasting Profile

Red fruit with rose and spice aromas, fresh minerality. Medium body with refined tannins and vibrant acidity, creating a balanced, elegant wine.

The Produttori is Barbaresco’s benchmark producer. A huge share of the village’s best farmers, representing virtually all of its best terroirs, bring their fruit to the co-op. It is hard to be admitted to the co-op. There is a waiting list; only a few make it.

Once you are in, the rules are strict. You don’t get to hold back any wine for your own labels. This isn’t a region where growers ship off their second best to the co-op and put their pride and joy in their own luxury bottles. You have to meet strict quality controls, of course. The Produttori is only devoted to quality-minded farmers with incredible terroir giving their all.

The winemaking is likewise next level. Aldo Vacca, the co-op’s general manager, is one of the wine world’s greatest artists. If you ever have the opportunity to meet and taste with him, take it; he is also one of the wine world’s great communicators.
