Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco 1985 Black Label

This was a special bottling of the 1985 Barbaresco. According to the back label it was for Christa Klauke.

Specifically, the back label says
Botte di Provenienza: No 149
SELEZIONE CHRISTA KLAUKE
Aldo Vacca confirmed my guess that this was bottled from one botte (large wine barrel) which was selected by Christa Klauke, and that there is also a 1989 black label bottling like this one.

Christa Klauke was a wine merchant in Germany until the 1990's at a shop called Klauke & Eberle. She also co-authored books with Friedrich Eberle on many aspects of wine including this book on Barolo & Barbaresco:

I do not think magnums or double magnums were made of this special bottling, but if you do, please let me know.
