Barbaresco Muncagota 16

96 points, “The 2016 Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota stands out in this group of nine for the slightly more mineral-driven definition on the bouquet and the bigger textural impact and structure of the mouthfeel. There is plenty of wild fruit and cherry, but the wine's aromas also veer toward crushed stone, iron ore, spice and candied orange peel. You feel the impact on the palate, thanks to integrated tannins, freshness and an elegant dose of fruit or phenolic weight.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

94+ points, “The 2016 Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota continues this tasting of frankly awe-inspiring wines. Rich, deep and super-expressive, the 2016 hits all the right notes. Black cherry, plum, spice, leather, liquorice emerge, but only with great reluctance. The Muncagota is another wine in this range that clearly needs time.” – Antonio Galloni’s Vinous

Produttori del Barbaresco is one of Piemonte’s shining beacons. In the very best vintages, they create nine Barbaresco Riservas from specific vineyards on historical sites. 2016 was just such a year, with Jancis Robinson noting that “Piemonte produced excellent quality wine in 2016, with ripeness to match the very good 2015, but firmer tannin and higher acidity.” Wine Advocate rated it as an “outstanding” vintage, in fact, placing it on a par with 2010 and 2006. This one is Muncagota. The fruit was grown by the Bellora, Lignana and Viglino families. It tastes great now, but it’s built for the long haul, so don’t be afraid to cellar it.

In the words of Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, Produttori del Barbaresco “has been making terrific wines for five decades.” All of the leading critics agree; Jancis Robinson believes that they “helped to establish Barbaresco as a top-quality wine”, James Suckling places them at “the top of the pack”, and Antonio Galloni considers their wines “reference-points”. Known affectionately as simply Produttori, this is one of the world’s top cooperatives and is virtually synonymous with the region. And the reason for that is because they offer some of the very best value for money to be discovered anywhere in Italy. Established in 1894, Produttori now encompasses 50 families over some 100 hectares, making nothing but the finest Nebbiolo.
