What an enlightening overview! Your detailed discussion of the Barbaresco wine region is both informative and captivating, besides being so insightful and interesting. I appreciate the way you highlighted and explained the distinct qualities of top Barbaresco producers Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Produttori del Barbaresco, and Cascina delle Rose. This video will surely prove valuable for wine enthusiasts of all levels, whether they are novice wine lovers or seasoned wine connoisseurs. I definitely think it’s a must-watch for anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge and understanding of Barbaresco. Certainly an indispensable and authoritative reference material for those who are planning to start a Barbaresco wine collection. Thank you for making this excellent video-superb in so many aspects! Cheers, John!
Thanks very much, Margaux! Truly appreciate the kind words! Very glad you enjoyed it! Hope you enjoy your weekend!
@@AttorneySomm You’re welcome, John! Yes, I really enjoyed this video! It also brings back memories of my visit to Barbaresco and my wine-tasting at Produttori del Barbaresco. This video certainly serves as a great validation of my purchase!😅
One of your best episodes. I have already watched it twice. Thank you. 🍷
Thank you! Truly appreciate it. Very glad you enjoyed it! A special region. 👍🍷
Hi John, out of interest, in your view what is a reasonable drinking window for the 2019 Produttori? I had a bottle recently but found the fruit hiding and wondered if it's just too young.
Hello: Great question! Yes, I would definitely give that one at least 5 years, but preferably 7-8 more years. 19 is a tremendous, yet very classic vintage that will need time to come around. 20 and 18 are definitely better for early consumption in the meantime.
Love your videos John! I don't miss a one of them. I feel like a long lost brother at times such as with Barbares co. I have enjoyed Gaja, Bruno, and Produttori. And at the price standpoint Produttori is always a must grab! As with most wines i wish i would have started my collection a bit earlier as i have many Bruno's & Gaja's 2011,13,15, 16's still a waiting for enjoyment. I have had a few earlier vintages and everyone of them have hit it out of the park.
I have never tried the Casina delle rose but i am going to search and i am certain i will enjoy!
Thanks again John!!! Always enjoy your wine. No sense in drinking unless you are enjoying!😊
Thanks very much! Well said! Completely agree with you. Very glad you enjoy the videos! Sounds like you have laid some excellent groundwork for future enjoyment! Definitely think you will enjoy Cascina delle Rose too. Hope you have a terrific weekend!
Tried to leave a comment about my trip to Barolo and Barbaresco last July and that Gaja was the highlight with private tasting and tour for over 3h. Others including Marchesi Di Gresy, Marcarini, and Vietti. Dinner at Campamac in Barbaresco was great as well.
Sounds like a terrific trip! Thank you for sharing it!
Very informative & helpful. No fluff & straightforward, YET far more engaging than most regional overview videos as it only covered the most pertinent & interesting information, which was easy to understand without being “dumbed down.” Great job!👍🏽☺️
@@evieolson1460 Thank you kindly! Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it!
Produttori is one of the best QPR in the wine world. Also strangely it’s the same price in Canada vs the USA which is hardly ever the case!
Completely agree with you! That is great to hear! Nice that you can get these wines at a reasonable price. 👍🍷
Great stuf, love the extra information on the region. I picked up some much. I was fortunate to visit the region last summer. Visiting Produttori del Barbaresco and staying in the beautifull city of Alba. 1 Barbaresco that suprised me during a dinner at Lalibera (big tip to visit) was the 2019 Piazzo Barbaresco from the single vinyard plot of Pajoré(Treiso). I was blown away by this wine and was able to buy a case back home. Its stil ripening in my cellar and i hope it will taste just as good as that night at the restaurant.
Thank you! And thanks for sharing this wonderful experience! Sounds like a terrific wine! Appreciate you mentioning it. Definitely a special region to visit!
Fantastic episode taking a well paced look into the wines of Barbaresco. I am a big fan of Nebbiolo, but I don't get a chance to enjoy really top-notch producers wines as much as I would like. Other than Produttori and cascina delle rose, are there any other producers you can recommend in their price range?
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it! Marchesi di Gresy is another producer you may want to consider. Also, Michele Chiarlo and Pio Cesare have Barbaresco now too, so you might try those if you enjoy their Barolo.
Great video yet again! At 20:56 that Gaja looks orange. Also, I use the Produttori and Ratti as cellar defenders against single vineyard Barolo's and the Barbaresco Reservas.
Thanks! An excellent strategy re: cellar defenders. With that much age Nebbiolo get very light. It was still showing very well though!
Don’t ever lower your standards to espouse only the finest of the finest. Just watching your videos makes me feel as if I’m escaping to a magical place, even if I might not be able to afford to try all of these treasures myself.
Thank you! I definitely try to feature wines at a variety of price points, but only wines that I think are high quality. Very glad you enjoy the videos!
@@AttorneySomm yes, I have bought some of your more affordable recommendations, too, and even some that were ever so slightly outside my price range. That’s because I knew I could trust your recommendations.
@@dougronald561 Very glad to hear that! Appreciate the confidence.
Thank you so much for the pin, John! Sincerely appreciate it!
You're welcome! Appreciate the support and thoughtful comment.
Great video 👍🏼💖
Thank you! Appreciate the kind feedback! Cheers!
One quick clarification. The Cascina delle Rose vineyard total is just for Barbaresco. They have 5.5 ha total, 1.65 of which is in the Barbaresco DOCG.
Great video! Definitely gave me some options to consider. I enjoy Barolo, but I find myself enjoying Barbaresco as much or more much of the time. Perhaps because it’s a little more forgiving, and a better value at its price points as you mentioned.
Completely agree with the flagship Produttori as one of the greatest values in the world, at least when I could find it for $35 a few years ago. I’ve shared these wines with several friends who really took to it. One in particular visited every local wine shop and bought all he could before I had bought what I had hoped to obtain! I guess the moral of the story is get what you want before letting the secret out? Or maybe a better lesson would be to tap the knowledge of friends’ to find new favorites. I’ll try to be optimistic and go with the latter!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! Yes, that can be a problem! 😂 I usually stock up before I feature wines here for that reason. 😂 Hopefully he will share them with you later. 👍🍷
Was very cool meeting you towards the end of the Suckling event in NY, aging a few of these myself 👍 Have a great weekend!
Thank you! Glad to hear it! Such excellent wines. Enjoyed meeting you as well. 👍🍷
👍🔴🍷🍷🍷
Grazie mille!
Bruno Rocca, Piero Busso, Roagna, Giuseppe Cortese, Sottimano, Carlo Giacosa, Marchesi di Gresy, Cantina del Glicine are only some of the other names to check out. Long live Barbaresco!
Thanks very much for the worthy additions! Cheers!
@@AttorneySomm Always a pleasure! As a Piedmont inhabitant (Turin), I have a privileged perspective and the moral obligation to share info with you :)
@@alfredocota4487 Very nice! I do my best when visiting, but nothing like living in the region!
@@AttorneySomm If by chance you'll be around in the next months, let's keep in touch so we can have a tasting together! Cheers and keep up with the great work!
@@alfredocota4487 Thanks very much! I would enjoy that. Not sure I’ll get there in 2024, but will let you know if I do! I was just there in November.
You didn’t mention 2018. I bought a few bottles of '18, mainly from Produttori del Barbaresco, because it is a fruit-forward vintage. The one bottle I have drunk so far is pretty well drinking well now. I'll open those before I tackle my '13s, '15s, '16s, and '19s.
Again, a French weekend for us: Pouilly Fume this evening with the porc aux pruneaux, and a 2010 claret with the roast beef tomorrow.
Thanks, again, John.
Thank you, Steven! Yes, like 2020, 2018 is an early-drinking vintage to enjoy before the others you list.
Sounds like a nice plan! Hope you enjoy your weekend!
@@AttorneySomm Well and well. What an ugly sentence - and that was before my Cremant d'Alsace aperitif!
@@stevenholt4936 No worries at all! I understood it just fine. Enjoy! 👍🍾
The 2020 Chianti Gran Selezione has just been offered. I have decided to bid for three bottles of the Volpaia Coltassala. Have you tasted?
Btw, the CB 2010 claret this evening was excellent (Les Moines, donated by a house guest a couple of years ago).
Hope you are enjoying a good wine weekend.
@@stevenholt4936 Glad the claret showed well! I’ve had the 2018 & 19, but not the 20. They are fairly consistent though so I think you will be happy with it if your bid is a winner. Cheers!
Roagna👌
Gallina is another one of those special vineyards in Barbaresco
@@Ruirspirul Thank you! Agreed.
👍
Thank you kindly! Cheers!
As always, a very thorough and illuminating look into Barbaresco!🤌🤌
A slight tangent for one of your favorite 4 productors in Bruno Giacosa: How do you like their Roero Arneis?
Thank you! Great question. I definitely enjoy the Giacosa Arneis. I’ve featured it in other videos. They also have a sparkling wine that is outstanding.
Much appreciated, @@AttorneySomm!
Can't wait to dive into my 2021 Giacosa Arneis... or should I be patient and give it another year in the cellar? :)
@@mickeylee2624 Arneis is actually one you can enjoy any time after release. No need to wait on that one.
WIll do, @@AttorneySomm!👍👍
