The Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota DOCG 2019 by Produttori del Barbaresco is a prime example of Piedmontese winemaking quality and tradition. Produced exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes sourced from the prestigious Muncagota vineyard, this wine reflects the excellence of the Barbaresco terroir, one of the most renowned sub-zones in the wine region. The vineyard, situated at approximately 260 meters above sea level, benefits from a south-western exposure and clay-limestone soils with sandy veins that promote optimal grape ripening. The vinification of Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota starts with alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 30°C, followed by a long maceration of 28 days with the grape skins. This is followed by aging for 36 months in oak barrels and an additional 12 months in the bottle, allowing the wine to develop exceptional complexity and structure.
