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.
