A mixed case of 9 bottles containing one bottle of each of the 2017 Riserva ‘Single Vineyard’ Crus (presented in a branded wooden case (as per photograph above).

Produttori del Barbaresco ‘Asili’ 2017
The Wine Advocate: "The Produttori del Barbaresco 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Asili is distinguished by its extremely linear and direct approach with wild rose, cassis and lots of mineral or crushed stone. The wine is taut and fresh on the palate with a medium-lean texture and lots of depth and persistence. I love those bright rose petal-like nuances on the close of this wine, and the tannins are firm and silky. This bottle boasts a unique identity in this group of Riservas. Drink 2025-2050.” 95+ points

Vinous: "The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva is a real standout. It captures all the sensuality of the year while retaining the translucence and freshness of Nebbiolo. Rose petal, crushed red berry fruit, cinnamon and spice develop with a bit of coaxing. This is another gorgeous wine from the Produttori. Asili is widely regarded as one of the best vineyards in Barbaresco, maybe the best. This wine shows why. Drink 2027-2039." 95 points

Produttori del Barbaresco ‘Rio Sordo’ 2017
The Wine Advocate: "The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo has a mineral character and a sleek, firm approach that gives this wine its special identity. The wine is polished, almost glossy in texture with blackcurrant, plum and wild rose, and the tannins are gripping, although the Rio Sordo sports a lean to medium-rich density overall. Drink 2025-2048.” 95 points

Vinous: "The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo shows the natural intensity of the year, and yet retains a good bit of the aromatic lift that is so typical of Nebbiolo at its best. Silky, perfumed and poised, the Rio Sordo is impressive in this tasting, Spice and floral notes lift a core of red-toned fruit in this mid-weight yet packed Barbaresco from the Produttori. This has very fine potential. Drink 2025-2037." 93 points

Produttori del Barbaresco ‘Montefico’ 2017
The Wine Advocate: "The Produttori del Barbaresco 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico is especially broad and thick in texture. It feels generous to the senses, wrapping thickly over the palate with a pretty mix of firm tannins and soft fruit fibre. These elements help to increase both the volume and the persistence of this classic wine. There is some dryness on the finish (and 15% alcohol), and you also taste crushed mineral and stone. Drink 2025-2048.” 95 points

Vinous: "The 2017 Barbaresco Montefico is one of the stand-outs in this range. It shows the piercing tannins typical of this site, and yet has more than enough fruit to balance those tannins, certainly more so than wine like Rabaja. This exposed site benefits from cooling winds from the north, clearly a benefit in 2017. Even in the early going, the balance here is terrific. In 2017, the Montefico is one of the clear stand outs in the range. Drink 2027-2039." 95 points

Produttori del Barbaresco ‘Montestefano’ 2017
The Wine Advocate: "The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano is darkly concentrated and among the richest wines in this series of single-vineyard Riservas. Montestefano is angular, textured and bold with dark fruit aromas, dried blackberry, toasted almond and cured tobacco. With this vintage, you get an age-worthy wine that offers brawn and power for drinking in the medium term, but it will become increasingly silky and slender with time. Dusty tannins and crushed stone appear on the long finish. Drink 2025-2050.” 96 points

Vinous: "The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano is a potent, savoury wine. Today, the fruit is very much in the background. A brooding, backward Barbaresco, the Montestefano clearly needs time, it is a sombre, imposing Barbaresco. Dark plum, earthiness, cloves, menthol, and liquorice infuse the finish with notable gravitas. There’s plenty of Montestefano breadth and resonance. Drink 2027-2039." 93+ points

Produttori del Barbaresco ‘Rabaja’ 2017
The Wine Advocate: "The Produttori del Barbaresco 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is another spectacular release from this cooperative winery that hits it out of the ballpark with each set of new releases. That impressive track record includes this wine that delivers extreme focus, depth and integrity. The bouquet is very clear cut with dark cherry, tart plum, spice and blood orange, but it is also complex and fluid. It offers new perspectives with each swirl of the glass. From a hot vintage, the Rabajà is smooth, powerful and balanced. I would bet on long aging for this bottle. Drink 2025-2050.” 96+ points

Vinous: "The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is a potent, searingly tannic wine that will need a few years to come together. Brooding and backward, even for young Rabaja. The 2017 is painfully young today. It will be interesting to see what time brings. Today, the 2017 is a real powerhouse, Black fruit, menthol, liquorice, melted road tar, game and menthol develop in the glass, but only with great reluctance. Drink 2027-2039." 94 points

Produttori del Barbaresco ‘Ovello’ 2017
The Wine Advocate: "One of the bigger productions in the Produttori del Barbaresco's portfolio is the 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello. All of the Riservas in this vintage are characterized by especially exuberant and bold aromas, and this bottle is a prime example. Cassis, wild cherry, tobacco, rusty nail and licorice build intensity. The wine is tapered and silky in texture, but it also offers a good amount of power to carry it through the aging process. Drink 2025-2045.” 94+ points

Vinous: "The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello is a heady, explosive wine. I don’t think I have ever tasted an Ovello from the Produttori with this much heft. The strong mineral and saline accents typical of this site are present, but they are matched pound for pound by notable mid-palate richness and intensity in its fruit. The 2017 is a brooding powerhouse that needs time to unwind. Drink 2027-2039." 94 points

Produttori del Barbaresco ‘Paje’ 2017
The Wine Advocate: "The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Pajè is impressive on all fronts, but especially in terms of aromas. There's so much brightness here with red and purple fruits, rust and a dark note of clove or exotic spice. No element is out of place, but together they help to build the intensity of this balanced wine. It shows a soft, velvety texture, and perhaps there is a little more ripeness overall in this warm vintage. Drink 2024-2045.” 94 points

Vinous: "The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Pajè is a fine choice for readers who enjoy wines of freshness, verve and energy. Dark fruit, menthol, spice, pine and crushed rocks are beautifully delineated. This is an especially chiselled wine in the range of 2017 Riservas. I very much like the balance of richness and vibrancy. In a word: classic. Drink 2027-2039." 94 points

Produttori del Barbaresco ‘Pora’ 2017
The Wine Advocate: "The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Pora is usually the first wine I taste each year when I review this set of Riservas from Produttori del Barbaresco. That's because it usually appears as the most delicate, and the intensity of each successive bottle increases after this one. But these schematics are a bit more difficult to align in a hot and dry vintage such as this that produced richer and more succulent fruit across the board. The Pora is redolent of red and purple fruit with a little more blackberry and plum compared to previous editions. The tannic strength of the wine is also more elaborate. Pora works very well in 2017. Drink 2025-2048.” 94 points

Vinous: "The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Pora is rich, creamy and layered, with a bit more generosity than is typically the case. Sweet red cherry, red plum, spice and rose petal are amplified in a radiant, open-knit Barbaresco that will start drinking well in a few years’ time. Drink 2025-2037." 93 points

Produttori del Barbaresco ‘Muncagota’ 2017
The Wine Advocate: "The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota plays some of its best cards in terms of texture, offering silky tannins, firmness and a long-lasting veil of fruit flavours. Cassis, wild cherry, camphor ash, spice and iron ore are aromatic protagonists. This wine is lean and compact but very linear and focused. Like the other Riservas in this group of new releases, the wine is fermented in steel and aged in large oak casks for 32 months. Drink 2025-2048.” 94 points

Vinous: "The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota is one of the lighter wines in the range. Floral and medium-bodied, the 2017 gives the impression of a wine that will open earlier than some of the others. It too, has pretty imposing tannins though, so a few years in bottle are advisable. Crushed flowers, sweet red cherry, mint and white pepper linger. Drink 2027-2039." 92 points

“Produttori del Barbaresco has been hitting it out of the ballpark these past years with a string of excellent vintages that resulted in the production of their entire line of Riservas and with the 2017 Riservas reviewed here, you might find these bottles hard to find.” – The Wine Advocate
