Winery Notes
Azienda Agricola Ribote is a small family-operated winery in Piedmont’s Langhe hills led by Bruno Porro and his family, with vineyards rooted in generations of traditional farming. The estate is known for producing authentic, terroir-driven wines with minimal intervention and a strong focus on native Piedmontese grape varieties. Farming is largely manual, with careful vineyard work designed to preserve the natural character and balance of the fruit.
Barbaresco is one of Italy’s most prestigious red wines and is produced exclusively from the Nebbiolo grape in a small area northeast of Alba. Often considered slightly more approachable and elegant in youth than neighboring Barolo, Barbaresco is prized for its perfume, finesse, and ability to age gracefully. Bruno Porro’s interpretation reflects a traditional style emphasizing purity, structure, and expression of the Langhe terroir.
Tasting Notes
Elegant and complex, this Barbaresco opens with aromas of rose petals, dried cherry, wild strawberry, violet, and orange peel layered with hints of leather, tea leaf, and spice. The palate is refined yet structured, showing vibrant red fruit, fresh acidity, and firm but polished Nebbiolo tannins. Notes of dried herbs, crushed stone, tobacco, and subtle earth emerge through the long, savory finish. Graceful and age-worthy, the wine captures the finesse and aromatic depth that define classic Barbaresco.
