You think the Produttori wines are modern/oaky? Pretty sure 100% old botti, and long macerations.

I'd certainly say that Barbaresco on the whole is a bit lighter than Barolo, but it's an overlapping spectrum, and I doubt anyone could pick out Barolo vs Barbaresco blind reliably.

If you want oak in your Nebbiolo I'd suggest trying Prunotto, Scavino, Sandrone,, A. Conterno,Manzone, Voerzio,Vietti, Pira, Ceretto
Marengo, or Pio Cesare (though not all bottlings of each might be oaky)
