Scott,
Of my 180 bottles of Produttori slightly more than half is diveded between Rabaja and Asili. Then comes Pora, Montefico, Montestefano and Paje with around 15 bottles each and then and few Moccagatta.
Vintages range from 1967 to 2015 but especially 89, 99, 01, 04, 05, 08, 11 and 13 from which I hold more than 12 bottles each vintage. I don’t buy these anymore but drink them from time to time when in Piemonte.
Btw. my father used to buy the “normale” in every vintage as their “house wine”. We think desrly of him every time ee open a bottle, most recently 06 and 08. What great values they were.
Nice list of producers you have in your cellar 
Current Cellar 2024
| Producer | Qty | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg | 6.5% | 9.7% |
| Domaine du Collier | 5.5% | 4.5% |
| Eric Texier | 3.3% | 1.2% |
| Elio Sandri | 2.8% | 1.5% |
| Clos Rougeard (Foucault) | 2.6% | 2.3% |
| Fratelli Brovia | 2.5% | 2.4% |
| Château Magdelaine | 2.3% | 4.2% |
| Hofgut Falkenstein | 2.3% | 0.5% |
| Domaine Gramenon | 2.3% | 1.6% |
| Domaine Ghislaine Barthod | 2.2% | 2.9% |
| Domaine Bernard Baudry | 2.1% | 0.6% |
| Hubert Lignier | 2.1% | 6.2% |
| Domaine Marquis d’Angerville | 2.0% | 3.9% |
| G.D. Vajra | 1.9% | 1.2% |
There is a natural breakpoint in quantity after Vajra. There are some notable changes in my list. I have gone hard after Collier, Magdelaine, Sandri (which became available in my market), and Gramenon (almost exclusively Mémé). I no longer get allocations of M-G or Clos Rougeard as they have changed importers. I passed on my 2021 Lignier allocation due to price (it wasn’t much anyway), but had continued to take my allocations of that, Barthod, and Brovia coming through Rosenthal channels as well as Vajra and D’Angerville coming through their channels (although D’Angerville has been shrinking dramatically). Slowed my purchases of Baudry, Falkenstein, and C&G because of consumption patterns. Boillot because of inconsistent results cellaring and supply changes in my market. I’ve also drastically slowed my purchases overall and am currently in negative territory for consumed - purchases for Q1 2024.

I am glad you approve, because your cellar is my dream cellar. It means I am not making bad choices

I’ve been debating going fairly deep on the upcoming bordeaux vintages (if they’re good) and backfilling where I can. I’ve really enjoyed some of the white bordeaux I’ve had recently and would really, really like to get more right bank backfilled as opposed to the smattering of bottles I have here and there.

My list (for now):
- Altesino (3.8%);
- Mastroberardino (3.8%);
- Leoville Poyferre (3.7);
- Il Poggione (3.5%);
- Paolo Scavino (3.0%);
- Elderton (2.9%);
- G.D. Vajra (2.6%);
- Chateau Canon (2.6%);
- La Rogerie (1.9%);
- Chateau Barde Haut (1.9%).
I can foresee a few changes over the next year or two with Barde Haut dropping off (the price increases are seemingly making less sense for them) and other wineries (in addition to Altos Las Hormigas) like Tenuta Argentiera, Castello dei Rampolla and Fontodi (maybe also Standish) making their way up. G.D. Vajra will also surely make more of a climb.
Elderton is a bit of an odd ball in the list but I buy a case in every strong vintage given its one of the most profound wine drinking memories I have shared with my father.

There are not a lot of talk about Sandri here, so fun to see you have decided to go all in!
Had an absolutely amazing 2012 Perno Riserva from Sandri not long ago. Very excited about the wines.
Wish I’d posted on this thread before to see how things have changed. I suspect these pretty much turn over every 5 years or so as my preferences change.

The next 10 are more of the same, Piedmont and Burgundy with Walter Scott and Bedrock being the only 2 domestics sneaking into the top 20.

Martin, with the experience you have with Produttori, have you come across any wines after 2010 that have matured too quickly? I am in particular thinking about some 2013 crus. Thanks!
Hi Josef
No, haven’t had that experience with any wines from Produttori, neither with ones bought in Italy and enjoyed at home or with any bottles drunk in Piemonte. But my experience with any wines from after 2010 is limited to maybe 10-15 bottles from various vintages.
