One of the bigger productions (with 17,744 bottles) in the Produttori del Barbaresco's portfolio is the 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello. All of the Riservas in this vintage are characterised by especially exuberant and bold aromas, and this bottle is a prime example. Cassis, wild cherry, tobacco, rusty nail and liquorice build intensity. The wine is tapered and silky in texture, but it also offers a good amount of power to carry it through the ageing process.

The Produttori del Barbaresco 2015 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello has a very distinct character that is expressed in terms of its fine but present tannic structure and its somewhat fragile primary fruit. The Ovello dives straight into those ephemeral Nebbiolo aromas with an emphasis on licorice, tar, blue flower and campfire ash. If you consider this timeline of Riservas, this wine brings us through that magic threshold in which Nebbiolo starts to show its unique aromatic appeal and mystique. This is always one of my favorites in this series of nine. Production is 18,741 bottles.

Barbaresco is a wine region located in the Piedmont region of Italy. The region is known for producing high-quality red wines made from the Nebbiolo grape variety. Barbaresco is one of the three major wine regions in Piedmont, along with Barolo and Asti.

The history of Barbaresco dates back to the 19th century when the first Nebbiolo vines were planted in the region. The wine gained popularity in the 20th century when it was recognized as a DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) in 1966. In 1980, Barbaresco was granted DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) status, which is the highest level of Italian wine classification.

Barbaresco wines are known for their elegance, complexity, and aging potential. The wines are typically aged for a minimum of two years, with at least one year in oak barrels. Barbaresco wines are characterized by their aromas of red fruit, flowers, and spices, as well as their firm tannins and high acidity.

There are several notable producers in the Barbaresco region, including Gaja, Produttori del Barbaresco, and Bruno Giacosa. Gaja is one of the most famous producers in the region, known for their modern style of winemaking and use of international grape varieties. Produttori del Barbaresco is a cooperative of small growers that produces traditional-style Barbaresco wines. Bruno Giacosa is known for his classic-style Barbaresco wines, which are aged for a minimum of three years before release.

Barbaresco is a small region, with only around 700 hectares of vineyards. The region is divided into four communes: Barbaresco, Neive, Treiso, and San Rocco Seno d'Elvio. The Barbaresco commune is the most famous and produces the most highly-regarded wines.

In addition to Barbaresco wines, the region also produces a small amount of white wine made from the Arneis grape variety. The wine is known for its floral aromas and crisp acidity.

Overall, Barbaresco is a region that produces some of the finest wines in Italy. The wines are highly sought after by collectors and wine enthusiasts around the world. With its rich history and tradition of winemaking, Barbaresco is a region that is sure to continue producing exceptional wines for years to come.
