Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Riserva Pora 2021

$9999

Among the best values for cellar-worthy wine in the world: the Produttori del Barbaresco's single-vineyard Riservas, bottled only in top vintages from the finest crus. Pora, on the Barbaresco hillside near the Tanaro, gives a rounder, more generous and supple style, warm-fruited and approachable, with softer tannins than the sterner crus. It's an inviting, openhearted face of Barbaresco. These Riservas reward 5, 10, 20, even 30 years in the cellar, and exploring the adjacent crus, each a shifting take on the same grape and place, is one of wine's greatest experiences. The 2021 charms relatively early yet has the balance to age well.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2021 Barbaresco Riserva Pora is a fabulous introduction to the single-vineyard wines in this range. Pliant and resonant in the glass, the 2021 impresses with its solid core of fruit and exceptional balance. A wine of depth and structure, the Pora is compelling. Wild cherry fruit, spice, new leather and blood orange fill out the layers. This is an especially fine Pora. There is so much to look forward to." —Antonio Galloni

"Riserva is a stunning, generous wine, with great aromas and layers of delicious flavors including succulent raspberry, Morello cherry, star anise and blood orange. While it’s already immensely enjoyable, it also has a long life ahead." —Kerin O'Keefe

More about Produttori del Barbaresco

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.
