The Produttori del Barbaresco "Rio Sordo" Riserva 1971 is a rare and prestigious single-vineyard Barbaresco from the Rio Sordo cru. The 1971 vintage is considered an exceptional year, producing long-lived, structured wines. After decades of aging, this Barbaresco would have developed complex tertiary notes such as dried fruits, tobacco, leather, and earth, with softened tannins and balanced acidity. The Rio Sordo vineyard is known for producing elegant, approachable wines with finesse, and this vintage showcases the vineyard's aging potential.
