7 Wine Spectador Top 100 of 2025

Wine Advocate: 95 Points

This wine gives us our first taste of the epic 2021 vintage from a producer as prolific as Produttori del Barbaresco. Bottled in April 2024, this vintage shows the immense power and complexity that likens it to 2016, another year for collectors. The 2021 Barbaresco offers medium-rich density that is transmitted both to the wine's apperance and its mouthfeel. There is black fruit, spice and a tpuch of nutmeg. However, the wine maintains its youthful tension and energy throughout. The tannis are chalky, fine and void of any bitternes. This is a classical expression of Nebbiollo that gives us good reason to be excited for the upcoming 2021 Barbaresco Riservas.
