The Riserva from Quazzolo, the estate's longest-aged and most ambitious wine, from a grower making around 10,000 bottles total a year. The Quazzolo family has farmed Barbaresco since 1958, and Riserva sees extended aging before release. It's 100% Nebbiolo in the traditional mold. 2015 was a ripe, generous Piedmont vintage, so this Riserva drinks with warmth and accessibility while keeping the firm Nebbiolo frame. A decant brings it to life; it has room to develop further.

More about Azienda Agricola Quazzolo

Quazzolo is Barbaresco with a rock-and-roll streak: a tiny, one-man operation on the Ovello hillside whose owner draws his own labels and makes old-school, long-aged Nebbiolo.

Danilo Quazzolo's family has worked vines on Ovello, in the cool northern reaches of Barbaresco, for generations, for many years selling off grapes and bulk wine. Danilo took over in the early 2010s and turned it into a boutique estate, handling everything himself, from the vineyard to the bottling. Production is small, on the order of 10,000 bottles a year, and almost entirely Nebbiolo.

The farming avoids herbicides, and the winemaking is classic: fermentation in concrete, a maceration of around two weeks, then at least two years in large oak barrels, longer than the rules require, to tame the wines' youthful exuberance. Alongside the straight Barbaresco there are single-vineyard bottlings from Ovello and Cole and a Riserva. These are firm, structured Barbarescos that reward a decant and a few years in the cellar.
