95 points “This small cooperative goes from strength to strength under the dynamic management of Aldo Vacca. Montestefano is one of the top sites in the commune of Barbaresco. The nose is still reserved but there are rich red fruits lurking. Very concentrated on the palate this is lush and approachable although one senses there is much in reserve with excellent ageing potential. It's taut and imposing with a finish that's tangy and persistent.” – Decanter
94 points “One of the deeper wines in this range… broad and creamy… beautifully resonant.” – Antonio Galloni
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. 2015 was just such a year with Jancis Robinson calling it an “exceptional vintage” and Wine Advocate rating it as “outstanding”. This one is Montestefano and it comes in an impressive magnum perfect for slow and elegant ageing. Rich and voluptuous with silky tannins this is a profound Barbaresco and an electrifying experience.
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.
