CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello is powerful, savory and intensely linear, in classico Ovello style, and yet it appears to have enough fruit behind its imposing tannins to develop well over the coming years. In this tasting, the Ovello feels pretty closed post bottling, but its inherent balance and qualities are there. Clean saline notes extend the finish in promising fashion.

This wine represents 50% of this highly respected co-op s production. (25% is their Nebbiolo Langhe and 20-25% single vineyards, released as Riservas after one extra year s ageing.) Bottled March 2022. There are just a few thousand bottles left.Transparent and already almost brick, but blackish. Mellow nose already nicely integrated. Round and spicy with some balsam. Very agreeable! Nice energy. Fine tannins only on the end. (JR)
