2016 Produttori del Barbaresco Don Fiorino Riserva – Award-Winning Italian Red Wine

2016 Barbaresco Riserva
A masterpiece from Produttori del Barbaresco in Piedmont’s iconic Barbaresco region, this 2016 Nebbiolo blend redefines Italian fine wine with its profound complexity and age-worthy elegance. Crafted from nine meticulously selected vineyards (including Cottà and Faset), this Riserva captures the essence of Piedmont terroir through layers of dark fruit, spice, and refined tannins that demand attention now and will evolve magnificently over decades.

Award-Winning Excellence
Seduce your palate with aromas of black cherry liqueur, leather-bound cigar box, and hints of white truffle—praised by Jeb Dunnuck (98 points) for its brooding intensity and James Suckling (98 points) for its silky texture and drinkability today. Wine Spectator’s 95-point accolade highlights its rich tar-and-cherry core, while Vinous notes its powerful structure poised to rival single-vineyard bottlings as it matures.

Experience Pure Elegance
This multi-vineyard blend offers unparalleled versatility—whether enjoyed now with roasted game or cellared for future indulgence (drinkable through 2036). Its velvety palate balances bold tannins with fresh apricot nuances that expand beautifully in the glass. Perfect for collectors seeking an investment-grade bottle or those ready to savor Piedmont’s legacy in every sip.

Why This Matters
With 14.5% alcohol by volume and a lineage tracing back to 1990’s historic release, this Riserva stands apart as Produttori’s boldest statement yet—a celebration of tradition meets innovation for connoisseurs who cherish both immediate gratification and long-term rewards. Elevate your cellar or dining table with this rare expression of Italian viticulture at its peak.
