The Produttori is Barbaresco’s benchmark producer. A huge share of the village’s best farmers, representing virtually all of its best terroirs, bring their fruit to the co-op. It is hard to be admitted to the co-op. There is a waiting list; only a few make it.

Once you are in, the rules are strict. You don't get to hold back any wine for your own labels. This isn't a region where growers ship off their second best to the co-op and put their pride and joy in their own luxury bottles. You have to meet strict quality controls, of course. The Produttori is only devoted to quality-minded farmers with incredible terroir giving their all.

The winemaking is likewise next level. Aldo Vacca, the co-op’s general manager, is one of the wine world’s greatest artists. If you ever have the opportunity to meet and taste with him, take it; he is also one of the wine world’s great communicators.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 94
"The 2009 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico is one of the more striking wines in the range. Deeply expressive with regard to place, the Montefico is laced with dark cherry, plum, menthol, licorice, spice notes, all supported by the firm, incisive tannins and vibrant salinity that are the hallmark of this great site. There is little doubt the Montefico is one of the highlights in this range of 2009 Riservas from the Produttori. This is a terrific showing." -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 91
"The 2009 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico is one of the most distinctive wines in this collection of single-vineyard expressions. What stands out here are the mineral nuances of brimstone and granite that rise from the glass. Because the Montefico vineyard has very compact soils, with sunny, southern exposures, you get a bigger structure and fruit concentration as a result. This is also the most advanced or evolved of the 2009 Riservas. Because it is maturing faster than the other wines, you might consider opening this bottle a bit sooner."

Wine Spectator

WS 90
"Sleek and tightly wound, with strawberry and raspberry flavors melding with mineral and tobacco hints. The tannins leave a dusty impression on the finish."

Wine Enthusiast

"From the celebrated Montefico vineyard site, this opens with a floral fragrance of rose petal, blue flower and perfumed red berry. The delicious palate delivers layers of ripe black cherry, crushed raspberry, cinnamon and white pepper alongside firm tannins."
