Expert Reviews - Vintage 2020
Audrey Frick - Jeb Dunnuck - 96 Points | The nose of the 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo is quite expressive and spiced showing very nicely with ripe aromas of wild raspberries cherries fresh herbs and blood orange spice. The palate gains in intensity with good energy and a mineral drive. A very successful wine in this vintage it's going to have plenty of life over the next 15-20 years.
Monica Larner - The Wine Advocate - 94 Points | The Produttori del Barbaresco 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo comes from an area that is further removed from the Tanaro River and has southwestern exposures. It shows a typical profile for Nebbiolo with rich fruit a velvety mouthfeel and textural volume that is delivered with ample blackberry blackcurrant and spice. The character of this wine is generous and rich. There is plenty of meat on these bones.
Bruce Sanderson - Wine Spectator - 94 Points | The 2020 Rio Sordo is very aromatic and exuberant featuring blood orange citrus peel cherry and rose hip flavors. Succulent and approachable with a light coating of tannins it's in the line of Pora and Pajé if a touch denser. This red bursts with cherry strawberry and rose aromas and flavors plus mineral white pepper and anise elements. Firm and lively showing accessibility and harmony. Enjoyable now but there's no rush.
Vinous Media - 94 Points | The 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo is pretty closed today which is probably a very good sign for its aging prospects as this site tends to produce wines that are more open than this. Dark cherry plum leather incense and tobacco offer a decidedly somber expression of Rio Sordo. The 2020 clearly needs time.
