Produttori del Barbaresco, Barbaresco Rio Sordo, 2019
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Tucked in the rolling hills of Barbaresco, the Rio Sordo vineyard produces some of the region’s most refined and structured Nebbiolo. The 2019 vintage from Produttori del Barbaresco showcases the true potential of this historic vineyard, offering a wine that speaks to both the tradition and modernity of the appellation.
From the first sip, it’s clear that this Barbaresco has depth, with its vibrant red berry fruit intertwined with delicate floral notes of rose and violet. The wine’s freshness is immediate, thanks to its lively acidity, which lifts the fruit and keeps it feeling dynamic. Beneath the bright fruit lies a layer of earthy complexity—tobacco and spice—that adds dimension and texture to the wine. The tannins, fine and polished, provide structure without overshadowing the wine’s elegance, leading to a finish that lingers with mineral precision and a hint of dried herbs.
The Rio Sordo is a wine that will reward patience, developing further complexity with age, but it is already wonderfully enjoyable now. Pair it with roasted meats, rich pastas, or truffle-infused dishes, or enjoy it on its own to savor the classic, age-worthy expression of Nebbiolo from Barbaresco.
