The Ovello is quite sharp and defined in terms of its aromas of wild cherry, dried violet and powdered licorice. Those mineral tones are very clear in this classic vintage. However, the Ovello finishes on a slightly softer note (compared to the Pajè) with a finer and more approachable tannin. The blended fruit for this cru is supplied by the Audasso, Cavallo, Cravanzola, Gonella, Grasso, Maffei, Odore, Sarotto, Unio, Vacca and Varaldo families.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntonio Galloni, Vinous, October 2020 - 97+P:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2016 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello is the most severe and angular of these wines. It will appeal most to die-hard classicists. Chalk, white pepper, mint and sweet red cherry fruit all grace this chiseled, beautifully translucent Barbaresco. As always, the Ovello needs a number of years in bottle to reveal its charms, which in 2016 are many. It is a positively stellar wine in every way.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGeneral information:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduttori del Barbaresco stands as one of the most distinguished wine cooperatives in Italy's Barbaresco region. The winery's history dates back to 1894 when Domizio Cavazza established the first cooperative, Cantine Sociali, bringing together nine vineyard owners to make wine in his castle. This initial venture was forced to close in the 1920s due to fascist economic policies.\u003cspan class=\"mt-md block\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eIn 1958, the local parish priest revived the cooperative spirit by gathering nineteen small growers to found what would become today's Produttori del Barbaresco.
