Situated at the foot of the Alps, Piedmont is renowned for its dramatic, steep hills, particularly in the Langhe subregion, where thick autumn morning fog protects the grapes and ensures a long, perfect ripening period. Within this landscape lies the Barbaresco appellation, located east of Alba. The 1999 vintage in this area is characterized as elegant, earning a score of 92 points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita wine is crafted exclusively from Nebbiolo, an Italian top-tier grape variety known for producing elegant wines with great structure. Nebbiolo is deeply rooted in Piedmont and is the sole grape cultivated by the producer in the Barbaresco zone. The grapes for this specific release are sourced from Rio Sordo, one of the renowned single-vineyard crus in the area, with the plots tended by the proprietors Alutto and Ferrero. According to the producer's traditions, during the best harvests, a portion of the wine from these distinguished locations is designated as a \"Riserva\" after reaching its fourth year of aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduttori del Barbaresco is widely recognized as one of the most respected wine cooperatives globally. While the modern iteration was founded in 1958 by local vine growers, its deeper history dates back to 1894 when Domizio Cavazza, the director of the local enological school, established the first cooperative in the area. After being dismantled in 1942 during the war years, it was successfully re-established. Today, the cooperative unites 51 members who collectively own 110 hectares. Under the direction of Aldo Vacca since 1991, the cooperative is celebrated for its release of nine single-vineyard crus, including Rio Sordo, which together illustrate the diverse terroir mosaic of the appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Produttori del Barbaresco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57366392373574,"sku":null,"price":2200.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1167_f37eedb8-0e12-4bcb-9b4d-f1867aa4d2ae.jpg?v=1789388153","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.dk\/en\/products\/barbaresco-rio-sordo-produttori-del-barbaresco-1999","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
