+ GRAPE: 100% Nebbiolo grown in the Barbaresco region of Piemonte in Italy. Low spray farming.
+ COOPERATIVE: Grown and produced by a renowned cooperative, collectively responsible for elevating the quality of Barbaresco wines.
+ HISTORY: Founded in 1958, the priest of the village of Barbaresco, recognizing that the only way small properties could survive was by joining their efforts, gathered together nineteen small growers and founded the Produttori del Barbaresco.
From its humble beginnings making the first three vintages in the church basement, Produttori del Barbaresco has grown to a 52 member co-operative with 250 acres of Nebbiolo vineyards in the Barbaresco appellation and an annual production of over 500,000 bottles.
Its vineyards amount to almost 1/6 of the vineyards of the area. Each member is in full control of their land, growing Nebbiolo grapes with the skill and dedication they have honed over generations.
