Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco 1964
This is one of the few examples I know of where a producer has made
a Normale,
a Riserva,
and a Riserva Speciale of the same wine.
In this period (pre-1980), Riserva and Riserva Speciale were distinct designations.
All Barbaresco required one year in wood.
Barbaresco Normale requires a total of 2 years of aging before release.
In this period, Barbaresco Riserva required 3 years of aging before release
and Barbaresco Riserva Speciale required 4 years of aging before release.
Post-1980, Riserva Speciale ceased to exist and Barbaresco Riserva took on the
requirement of 4 years of aging before release.
