Reviewed by Monica Larner Issue Date 28th Jun 2019 Source Issue 243 End of June 2019 The Wine Advocate Always one of my favorite wines from Produttori del Barbaresco the 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello lays out a broad and soft mouthfeel with tannins that have already been polished and integrated thanks to ample time in the bottle already. It's safe to say that this Ovello cru loyally demonstrates the level of richness and textural softness that this site is known for. The bouquet is redolent of bright berry fruit with cherry blackberry and plum. Also the 2014 vintage was a warm one at the end of the growing season and you taste a little bit of that ripeness here too. Produttori enthusiasts will be happy to know that the estate's celebrated Riservas were made in 2014 a vintage that performed very nicely in the rolling hills of Barbaresco. We can also look forward to the Riservas in 2015 and 2016. I find it helpful to remember the tasting order of the Riservas as suggested by General Manager Aldo Vacca. It starts with the more delicate expressions and concludes with the most structured wines. This is the suggested tasting order of the nine Riserva selections: 1. 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Pora 2. 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Pajè 3. 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello 4. 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo 5. 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Asili 6. 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà 7. 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota 8. 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico 9. 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano

The 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello is bright and piercing as it so often is and yet it also has more than enough fruit to fill out its mid-weight energetic frame. Pine mint crushed rocks and sweet red plum build into the huge piercing finish. The Ovello is another wine in this range that demands patience. Even in the early going it is super impressive. The 2014 s an unusually dense packed Ovello. It should be terrific in another few years' time.

Lovely aromas of perfumed berry rose petal aromatic herb and baking spice set the tone on this fragrant red. The ethereally elegant medium-bodied palate is all about finesse and balance delivering succulent red cherry juicy raspberry cinnamon and a dash of white pepper. It's nicely balanced with polished tannins and fresh acidity. It's already accessible but will also age well over the next several years or more. Drink through 2026. - Kerin O'Keefe
