The Barbaresco DOCG Riserva Ovello 2016 from Produttori del Barbaresco is a wine that embodies the elegance and complexity of Nebbiolo, the undisputed queen of the Langhe vineyards. Hailing from the prestigious Ovello sub-area, this wine is the result of an exceptional harvest, in which the carefully selected grapes were able to express their full potential. With an alcohol content of 15°, this Barbaresco presents itself with an intense garnet red color that promises unparalleled depth just from its appearance.
On the nose, enveloping notes of red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, emerge, blending with hints of wilted roses and sweet spices. Aging in oak barrels imparts a light vanilla note, while the well-integrated tannins reveal a silky texture on the palate, providing the wine with a robust yet harmonious structure. The finish is persistent, leaving a lingering aftertaste of tobacco and dark chocolate that invites further sipping.
Pairing beautifully with traditional Piedmontese dishes, such as braised beef in Barolo or truffle risotto, this Barbaresco is an ideal companion for special dinners. Served at a temperature of 18°C, it displays all its splendor, revealing a complexity that evolves over time. A wine that tells tales of passion and dedication, perfect for moments that call for a special toast.
