Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Ovello Riserva 2014 is a distinguished expression of the Piemonte region’s finest winemaking traditions. Originating from the northernmost slopes of the Ovello vineyard, spanning 20 hectares, this wine benefits from unique clay-rich soils and a cool microclimate that together nurture Nebbiolo grapes of exceptional quality. These conditions contribute to the wine’s vibrant character and a firm, elegant structure that is the hallmark of classic Barbaresco.

Crafted through the dedicated collaboration of eleven families who tend to their individual vineyard parcels on Ovello’s calcareous slopes, the wine captures the full depth and diversity of this prestigious site. This collective effort reflects a commitment to quality and tradition, drawing from a premium private cellar renowned for its meticulous winemaking expertise and rigorous standards.

The 2014 vintage shines with remarkable balance and finesse due to a temperate growing season that allowed the Nebbiolo grapes to ripen fully while preserving their bright natural acidity. This vintage reveals iconic Barbaresco aromas including ripe red berries, delicate rose petals, and subtle spicy undertones, supported by structured tannins and culminating in a long, refined finish.

Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Ovello Riserva 2014 embodies the rich heritage and artisanal craftsmanship that define one of Italy’s most celebrated producers. It pairs exceptionally well with rich, savory dishes such as braised meats, truffle-infused plates, and aged cheeses, making it a superb choice for elevating sophisticated dining experiences.

  • Northernmost Ovello vineyard spans 20 hectares with clay-rich soils and a cool microclimate, producing wines of vibrant intensity and firm structure.

Reviews

Always one of my favorite wines from Produttori del Barbaresco, the 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello lays out a broad and soft mouthfeel, with tannins that have already been polished and integrated thanks to ample time in the bottle already. It's safe to say that this Ovello cru loyally demonstrates the level of richness and textural softness that this site is known for. The bouquet is redolent of bright berry fruit with cherry, blackberry and plum. Also, the 2014 vintage was a warm one at the end of the growing season, and you taste a little bit of that ripeness here too. Produttori enthusiasts will be happy to know that the estate's celebrated Riservas were made in 2014, a vintage that performed very nicely in the rolling hills of Barbaresco. We can also look forward to the Riservas in 2015 and 2016. I find it helpful to remember the tasting order of the Riservas as suggested by General Manager Aldo Vacca. It starts with the more delicate expressions and concludes with the most structured wines.
The 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello is bright and piercing, as it so often is, and yet it also has more than enough fruit to fill out its mid-weight, energetic frame. Pine, mint, crushed rocks and sweet red plum build into the huge, piercing finish. The Ovello is another wine in this range that demands patience. Even in the early going it is super impressive. The 2014's an unusually dense, packed Ovello. It should be terrific in another few years' time.
