About this Item

2010 Barbaresco
2 (1 x 2) 1500ml

This cooperative winery decided not to make single-vineyard expressions in 2010 and all the fruit went into the base 2010 Barbaresco instead. This wine is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, coming from various vineyards in the Barbaresco area, at an altitude of about 250 meters and vineyards facing south-south west.

Critics Ratings

‘The 2010 Barabresco opens to beautiful aromas of forest floor, white truffle and cola. All the fruit from Produttori del Barbaresco's single-vineyard wines are packed into this one base Barbaresco. The wine is sharp and focused and, although it does not have the soft generosity of 2009 or 2011, this is a wine of enormous elegance. I did not find the mouthfeel to be exceedingly thin. In fact, I noted the persistence, freshness and liveliness of the finish.’ – Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, 93+/100 (Jun 2015)

‘(as the Produttori has declassified its crus in 2010, there will be 28,000 cases of this blend): Tangy cherry and raspberry aromas are lifted by flowers and mint on the cool, inviting nose. Silky-sweet and floral, with lovely inner-mouth juiciness to its red berry flavors. Owing to the wine's moderate body and flesh, the tannins show a slightly dryness but the long, juicy finish offers enticing floral perfume. A lovely, sharply delineated Barbaresco at a very reasonable price.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 91/100 (Nov 2013)
