Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Fruit for the 2015 Langhe Nebbiolo is completely sourced from vineyards that are officially registered to make Barbaresco. Clusters are selected from the youngest vines and from the lower vineyard parcels (or other spots that do not meet the more stringent Barbaresco standards). This vintage shares some obvious similarities to 2011 in that the fruit is very ripe, round, supple and immediate. The wine is an absolute pleasure to drink right now, and it should hold for another five years without too much hassle. The alcoholic power is apparent (at 14.5%). The wine is a subtle shade darker in appearance with soft tannins and intense fruit. This wine gives us a very good sneak peek at what the 2015 Barbaresco expressions will be like.

Founded in 1958, the priest of the village of Barbaresco, recognizing that the only way small properties could survive was by joining their efforts, gathered together nineteen small growers and founded the Produttori del Barbaresco. From its humble beginnings making the first three vintages in the church basement, Produttori del Barbaresco has grown to a 52 member co-operative with 250 acres of Nebbiolo vineyards in the Barbaresco appellation and an annual production of over 500,000 bottles. Its vineyards amount to almost 1/6 of the vineyards of the area. Each member is in full control of their land, growing Nebbiolo grapes with the skill and dedication they have honed over generations.
Playing a key role in elevating the quality level of Barbaresco over the years, Produttori del Barbaresco produces a simpler Nebbiolo Langhe, a Barbaresco blend and nine single vineyard wines produced in premier vineyards: Asili, Rabaja, Pora, Montestefano, Ovello, Paje, Montefico, Muncagota and Rio Sordo.
Attracting the most glory, prestige and fame to the Piedmont region, Nebbiolo in all of its expressions—Barolo, Barbaresco, Roero, Ghemme and Gattinara—creates a complex wine, truly unique for its delicate qualities combined with strength and a great potential to improve over time.
But Nebbiolo isn’t all there is to red wine from Piedmont! Barbera is the most planted variety and historically most popular as a dependable, food-friendly, everyday wine.
Beyond these two, a surprising number of red varieties call Piedmont their home. Worth a try include Dolcetto for its bold concentration and aromas of spice cake. Other grapes to investigate include Freisa, Croatina, Brachetto, Grignolino and Pelaverga.
