Barbaresco DOCG Riserva Pora 2020 Produttori del Barbaresco

What kind of wine is it

Barbaresco Riserva Pora by Produttori del Barbaresco is a red wine made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. It is born in Piedmont from plots managed by small associated winegrowers, aiming to represent the different nuances of the territory. The winemaking process involves a long maceration on the skins and aging in wood and glass, which contribute to a harmonious and structured profile. The balanced tannic texture and persistent taste characterize this expression of the denomination.

Where does it come from

The geographical mention Pora is located south of the village of Barbaresco, near the Tanaro river. The vineyards benefit from south and southeast exposure, favorable conditions for grape ripening. The vines grow on soils composed of calcareous marl, sand, and clay, elements that influence the structure and aromatic profile of the wine. This geological combination enhances the tannic development of Nebbiolo and reinforces the territorial identity in the glass.

How is it produced

The grapes are vinified with care, starting with fermentation in steel to control temperature. The maceration on the skins lasts over a month, enriching the must with color, tannins, and typical aromas. The wine then matures for thirty months in large oak barrels, followed by twelve months of bottle aging, stabilizing the overall balance and integrating each component of the sip.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it shows a bright ruby red color, evidence of its maturation process. Aromas of small red fruits emerge on the nose, accompanied by spicy notes and balsamic hints that broaden the aromatic profile. On the palate, the entry is full and velvety, supported by a well-integrated tannic texture. The finish stands out for its long persistence, with lingering flavors that prolong the experience.

Food Pairings

Its tannic presence and structure make it suitable for dishes with intense and savory flavors, such as traditional taglierini with meat sauce. The balance between softness and intensity also pairs well with noble poultry and roasted white meats. It also matches recipes based on red meats and game, especially when prepared with rich and concentrated sauces.

When to serve

This Piedmontese red is indicated for occasions that require a wine of character, suitable for attentive tastings and important dishes. Thanks to its aging in wood and glass, it is already expressive and harmonious, ideal for a formal lunch or an elegant dinner. The structure allows for good ageing potential, offering the possibility to store it in the cellar and appreciate its evolution over the years.
