Review Date: 09/2023The 2021 Barbaresco Montestefano is one of the very best young wines I have tasted here. Dark, rich and intense, but also light on its feet, the 2021 dazzles from the very first taste. Dark red/blue fruit, lavender, licorice, gravel, dried herbs and menthol open with a bit of coaxing. The Montestefano possesses striking mid-palate depth, compelling inner perfume and mind-blowing balance. I loved it. (AG)

The 2021 Montestefano from La Cà Nova has aromas of new leather, dark culinary spice, underbrush and prune as well as a balsamic whiff of camphor. Showing the full-bodied, austere structure typical of Montestefano, the palate offers prune, dried cherry, ground clove and almond liqueur alongside tightly knit, close-grained tannins. Both ripe and firm, it needs a few more years to fully come together.
Staff Reviews
A modern legend. This is one of the highest-scored wines in the region, offering explosive aromatics and a pedigreed structure that will last for decades.
