Barbaresco Riserva "Don Fiorino" 2016 Produttori del Barbaresco
Barbaresco Riserva "Don Fiorino" 2016 by Produttori del Barbaresco stands as a landmark in Italian winemaking, a testament to the artisanal excellence of this prestigious cooperative cellar. Dedicated to the founder, Father Don Fiorino, this wine is a celebration of Langhe's tradition, bringing together the finest Nebbiolo grapes from various Barbaresco vineyard plots.
The "Don Fiorino" label originates from over 100 hectares of vineyards managed by the cooperative, situated at different altitudes and exposures, characterized by slightly different soils. This diversity imparts impeccable balance and aromatic complexity, reflecting the true character of Barbaresco's terroir.
After a rigorous grape selection, the winemaking process involves controlled-temperature fermentation and an extended maceration on the skins for about a month. The wine then matures in French oak barrels of 25 hl for 30 months, followed by a bottle aging period.
The result is a wine of extraordinary elegance and finesse. The bright ruby color with garnet reflections precedes a complex olfactory profile, featuring fragrances of dried rose petals, delicate floral notes of violet, medicinal herbs, and spices. On the palate, the wine caresses with evolved and velvety tannins, revealing rich aromas of red currant, raspberry, marasca, and underbrush. The finish is fresh and prolonged, confirming the longevity and exceptional nature of this label.
With a limited production of about 15-16,000 bottles annually, Barbaresco Riserva "Don Fiorino" is the emblem of the cellar, embodying the history and identity of Produttori del Barbaresco. A sensory experience that connects the present to the deep roots of the territory, solidifying the reputation of this label as one of the most significant in the Italian wine panorama.
