Hailing from one of the top crus in Barbaresco, the 2008 Ovello Riserva from Produttori del Barbaresco is a quintessential expression of Nebbiolo. Known for its structure, elegance, and ability to age gracefully, this wine embodies the character of the Ovello vineyard, where the combination of soil and climate yields wines of great depth and complexity.

On the nose, this Barbaresco reveals a rich bouquet of ripe red fruit—cherry, raspberry, and plum—interwoven with floral aromas of rose and violet. Beneath the fruit, earthy nuances of tobacco, leather, and a hint of spice add layers of complexity. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a firm tannin structure that supports the rich fruit and vibrant acidity. The finish is long, with lingering notes of dried herbs, licorice, and subtle oak.

This Barbaresco is perfect for pairing with rich, savory dishes such as braised meats, roasted game, or truffle risotto. While it is drinking beautifully now, its structure ensures it will continue to evolve in the cellar for many years, revealing even more complexity as it matures.

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.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 95
"The Produttori’s 2008 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello is a reference point wine for the village, even if, in truth, Ovello is a fairly diverse zone with many exposures. Firm, steely tannins support a core of expressive fruit in this vibrant, energetic Barbaresco. The 2008 is going to require considerable patience, but it is striking, even today. Sweet floral notes reappear on the vivid, utterly breathtaking finish, adding lift, precision and vibrancy. This is a stunning wine from the Produttori. The style is built on tension, energy and focus; in other words, all the qualities Ovello is known for." -Antonio Galloni

"The bright cherry core is surrounded by tobacco and spice in this well-structured red. Tightens up, but ends with a sweet and savory licorice chewiness."
