Vigneti in Pora Barbaresco Riserva 1999
Produttori del Barbaresco is widely regarded as one of the most respected wine cooperatives in the world. The modern version of the estate was founded in 1958 by local vine growers, but its historical roots date back to 1894. That year, Domizio Cavazza, the director of the local enological school, established the first cooperative in the area, which operated until it was closed during the war in 1942. Today, the cooperative consists of 51 members who collectively own 110 hectares of vineyards. These lands are planted exclusively with Nebbiolo and are located entirely within the Barbaresco zone, a rare level of specialization that cements the producer's status in the region. Under the direction of Aldo Vacca, who has led the cooperative since 1991, the estate is particularly noted for its nine single-vineyard crus, which together illustrate the terroir mosaic of the appellation.
This Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) Riserva is sourced specifically from the Vigneti in Pora. It is crafted entirely from Nebbiolo, a premier Italian grape variety recognized for providing a great structural foundation, and which is deeply synonymous with the Barolo and Barbaresco appellations. The Barbaresco area is situated in the Langhe hills east of Alba within the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy. Piedmont, which translates to "at the foot of the mountain," is framed by the Alps and is celebrated for its dramatic, steep hillsides. During autumn, these hills are frequently blanketed in thick morning fog, a natural phenomenon that protects the grapes and facilitates a long, steady ripening process. The 1999 vintage from this terroir is characterized as elegant, achieving a score of 92 points.
The label of this 1999 Riserva proudly bears the inscription "Manifesto del 1894," serving as a direct tribute to Domizio Cavazza's original cooperative foundation. As a single-vineyard release, it stands as a clear representation of the Pora vineyard's distinct place within the classic Barbaresco landscape.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Piedmont
Piedmont (which literally means "at the foot of the mountain") is located in northwestern Italy, surrounded by the Alps. It is considered one of the world's absolute most prestigious wine regions. The area is known for small, passionate, family-run wineries and a huge focus on terroir (how the soil and microclimate affect the wine).
Classic characteristics of Piedmont:
The royal wines: This is where the world-famous, complex and expensive red wines Barolo and Barbaresco come from (both made from 100% Nebbiolo).
Everyday heroes: In addition to Nebbiolo, the region is famous for the grapes Barbera (juicy, acidic and incredibly popular) and Dolcetto (dark, soft and fruity).
The white and sweet: Piedmont also makes the crisp white wine Gavi and the famous, lightly sparkling dessert bubbles Moscato d'Asti.
The landscape: Dramatic, steep hills – especially in the Langhe sub-area. The hills are often shrouded in thick morning mist in autumn, which protects the grapes and allows for a long, perfect ripening.
Gastronomy: An absolute mecca for food lovers. The area is world famous for the exclusive white truffles from Alba, hazelnuts and rich, simmered dishes that scream with a glass of local red wine.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
