2020 Barbaresco, Produttori del Barbaresco, Piedmont, Italy

Description

Another triumph from the Produttori del Barbaresco, and a fine representation of the quality yielded by the 2020 vintage. The nose is high-toned and fragrant with notes of macerated strawberries and blood orange. An ample and juicy palate swells with red fruit while notes of leather, camphor and liquorice develop on the finish. Bright acidity and crushed velvet tannins make for a delightfully drinkable style of Barbaresco, one which will be immediately accessible in its youth but will age rewardingly over the next ten years.

Critics reviews

Aldo Fiordelli 94/100
Still vinous, with youthful strawberry notes, rosebud, violet, liquorice and a whiff of cinnamon. Savoury and floral on the palate which is dominated by firm, crisp, long acidity and velvety ripe tannins of an amazing quality; perhaps just a bit stern on the aftertaste. Amazing Barbaresco. Here we have the cooperative of Barbaresco and one known as producing some of the best-priced quality wines in all of Langhe. This will not be released before October 2023.Drink 2023 - 2040Aldo Fiordelli, Decanter (January 2023)

Barbaresco. Youthful mid ruby. A proper, concentrated fruit nose, which this vintage is woefully short of. Subtle marasca cherry palate with lots of finely ground tannins; head and shoulders above the rest.Drink 2023-2030Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com (June 2023)

Just off the bottling line, I was the first in the world to taste the 2020 Barbaresco from bottle with Aldo Vacca. It pours a jewel ruby, which Aldo thought was probably pre-bottle shock. A pretty wine with aromas of ripe raspberry (almost liqueur), sweet licorice, and fresh violets, it is medium to full-bodied, with pure, ripe fruit of red cherry, blood orange, dusty earth, and pressed flowers. This is a lovely wine out of the gates, and it will be interesting to see how it settles.Drink 2024 - 2040audrey_frick, JebDunnuck.com (May 2023)

Antonio Galloni 92/100
The 2020 Barbaresco is a lovely, harmonious wine that will drink well with minimal cellaring. Forward fruit and soft curves are perhaps a bit uncharacteristic for young Barbaresco but that also make the wine very enjoyable. Juicy red cherry/plum fruit, rose petal, spice, cedar, mint and tobacco all meld together in the glass. Classicists will probably prefer other vintages, but it's hard not to like the 2020 for its charming, effusive personality. At the same time, aeration brings out greater aromatic presence and a good deal of structure, too.Drink 2024-2032antonio_galloni, Vinous.com (September 2023)

James Suckling 92/100
This is aromatic and attractive with notes of dried cherries, hibiscus, cocoa and bark, following through a medium body with polished and refined tannins with velvety texture, and a linear finish. Fresh and floral at the end with a bright red fruit backbone.Drink from 2025james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (July 2023)

Monica Larner 95/100
The 2020 Barbaresco boasts an ample set of aromas with wild cherry, blue flower, sweet spice and crushed limestone. As always, the wine paints an exciting and authentic portrait of Nebbiolo, albeit with a little more richness and texture in this vintage. This is especially true in terms of the palate, where the wine offers mid-weight intensity with melting tannins. This ambitious release of 300,000 bottles is slated to hit the market in fall 2023.Drink 2025-2045monica_larner, Wine Advocate (August 2023)

About this wine

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.
