Rio Sordo Barbaresco docg Produttori del Barbaresco Riserva 2017

Rio Sordo Barbaresco Riserva by Produttori del Barbaresco winery is a complex and well-balanced wine, produced with Nebbiolo grapes harvested into “Rio Sordo” vineyard, situated in the district of Barbaresco. The colour is dark red with orange nuances; the bouquet is really rich and complex with scents of violet, wild rose, oriental spices and licorice. The taste is rich and warm. Barbaresco Rio Sordo can be paired with red meat, duck breast, game and seasoned cheeses.

The birth of the company dates back to 1894 thanks to Domizio Cavazza, which was the headmaster of the Enological School of Alba and the owner of the Castle of Barbaresco and the adjoining farm. Domizio Cavazza founded the Cantine Sociali of Barbaresco for "the production of luxury wines and meals", bringing together 9 families of winemakers and starting to vinify Nebbiolo grapes in the cellars of the Castle. He began to call the wine produced with the name of the district: this is how tradition wants that Barbaresco wine was born. Another important date is 1958, the year in which Don Fiorino Marengo, parish priest of Barbaresco, gathered 19 winegrowers and founded the "Produttori di Barbaresco". The Produttori del Barbaresco currently is one of the most prestigious winery of Langhe region  and is a cooperative that brings together more than 50 winegrowers, counting more than 110 hectares of vineyards cultivated with Nebbiolo vine.
