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 principal 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 make wine 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 cellar was closed in the 1920s. In 1958, referring to that tradition, Don Fiorino Marengo brought together nineteen farmers and founded the Produttori del Barbaresco «for the qualification and guarantee of Barbaresco». Founded in 1958, today it has 50 members with about 110 hectares of vineyards in Nebbiolo and controls most of the historic "crus" of the area.
