1894 is a fundamental year for Barbaresco. Before that date, the cultivated Nebbiolo was sold to produce Barolo wine or vinified as a simple table wine. In 1894, Domizio Cavazza, then president of the Royal Enological School of Alba and resident in Barbaresco, created the "Cantine Sociali di Barbaresco". With other farmers and owners, he began to vinify in the cellars of the Castle and to name the wine with the name of the town itself. 1894 is therefore the unofficial birth year of Barbaresco wine.

Cavazza died in 1913 and the cooperative winery was closed in the 1920s. In 1958, following that tradition, Don Fiorino Marengo gathered nineteen farmers and founded the Produttori del Barbaresco “for the qualification and guarantee of Barbaresco”. Founded in 1958, it now has 50 members with about 110 hectares of Nebbiolo vineyards and controls a large part of the historic “crus” of the area.
