Produttori di Barbaresco is a cantina sociale, which is an common example of wine cooperative that exists all over Italy. In 1894 Domiziano Cavazza, who, at the time was in charge of the Oenological School of Alba, decided to differentiate using just a label, the difference that exists between the Nebbiolo wines made in the Barbaresco area to those made in the Barolo area. Before that time, Barbaresco grapes were used only to make Barolo wines or table-wines, so Cavazza gathered together 9 Nebbiolo wine-growers who started bringing their own grapes and producing Barbaresco wine at the castle of the Oenological School of Alba. When Cavazza died, the wine cooperative closed for a period of time and re-opened in 1958 when the priest of the village of Barbaresco decided to bring back the old tradition and gathered together 19 wine-growers and founded the Produttori di Barbaresco. Today the wine cooperative has 110 hectares of Barbaresco and in fruitful years, it produces 500,000 bottles of DOCG Barbaresco and DOC Langhe.
