Pora is the opulent, generous member of Produttori del Barbaresco's south-facing trio of crus, sitting beside Asili and Rabaja on Barbaresco's greatest slope. The 2013 is a classic, more structured vintage than the warm 2011, with bright acidity and firmer tannins that promise a longer life. It's drinking well now with a decant, but it also has the bones to keep evolving over the coming years. A great illustration of how vintage reshapes a single vineyard. Produttori bottles these Riservas only when the year merits it.

"The 2013 Barbaresco Riserva Pora is soft, pliant and enveloping. In many vintages, the Pora can be a bit light. Not in 2013. The wine is rich and deeply textured, with layers of fruit that continue to build with time in the glass. The tannins are present, but they are nearly buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. This is an especially powerful, brooding edition of the Pora. Although impressive today, the 2013 will drink well for decades to come." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

"This is the first wine tasted in a lineup of nine single-vineyard Riserva Barabrescos made by Produttori del Barbaresco in 2013. The tasting progression goes from most streamlined to most powerful and complex. The 2013 Barbaresco Riserva Pora starts off this happy continuum with exuberant but simple fruit layers of dried raspberry, wild cherry and plum. The wine reveals pretty color intensity and saturation. It shows mild acidity and a light tannic structure for a more accessible and immediate drinking approach. The Pora vineyard has fertile soils that are rich in nitrogen. There is less limestone here compared to the Montestefano and Montefico vineyards. Fruit from Pora tends to ripen faster than other sites. This was in June 2017." —Monica Larner

"A rich, cherry- and floral-scented red, effusive in aroma, with the core of cherry prevailing on the palate. Though fleshy, this gives way to firm tannins that line the lingering aftertaste. Inviting and full of energy, so decant now or wait."

Kerin O'Keefe

"Scents of menthol, new leather, dark culinary spice, cured meat and forest floor lead the nose. The smooth, full-bodied palate shows juicy Morello cherry, pomegranate, licorice and clove balanced by vibrant acidity and tense, refined tannins. An almost salty note closes the finish. This a classic Barbaresco with years ahead of it. Drink 2021–2038." —Kerin O'Keefe

Round Pora fruit with the firmer grip and freshness of a classic vintage. Good now, better with a few years.
