These are the last bottles we have to offer this top Barbaresco from Produttori which are due to arrive in two weeks. 2020 is another excellent addition to the history of Produttori's Barbaresco and a great example of the Barbaresco Normale that ranks among the best of all time. Produttori makes an expressive and complex Barbaresco that gives a beautiful glimpse of the vintage made from many of the incredible single vineyards of the estate. These are typically some of our top-selling Italian wines in any given vintage, and 2020 is one of the all-time best. The 2020 is a beautiful wine that shows well right out of the gates with ample fruit and lovely balance. Though it's less classic of a vintage, Produttori can get the most out of each year, and this certainly has classical elements to it but with a bit more body. The Barbaresco Normale from Produttori is a beautiful snapshot of their production for the vintage and is always released before the crus. This is a knockout example that we always recommend and is a top buy of the vintage. It was an exhilarating vintage for Produttori, with one of the biggest scores ever. This is not one to miss at this pricing, and with possible tariffs on the horizon, now is the time to buy before this increases close to $50 a bottle!

Wine Advocate (Monica Larner) 95 points! "The 2020 Barbaresco boasts an ample set of aromas with wild cherry, blue flower, sweet spice and crushed limestone. As always, the wine paints an exciting and authentic portrait of Nebbiolo, albeit with a little more richness and texture in this vintage. This is especially true in terms of the palate, where the wine offers mid-weight intensity with melting tannins. This ambitious release of 300,000 bottles is slated to hit the market in fall 2023."
