Review Date: 01/2024Alpine herb, pressed rose, new leather and black tea aromas lead the nose on the superb Montefico 2019 Riserva. Showing the impeccable class and intensity this cru is celebrated for, it’s youthfully austere but also incredibly savory. The firmly structured palate delivers ripe red cherry, raspberry compote, licorice, almond liqueur and saline mineral notes accompanied by a firm backbone of tightly-woven, close-grained tannins. Bright acidity gives it great aging potential.

Notes
The 2019 Produttori del Barbaresco "Montefico" Barbaresco Riserva showcases the bold character of Nebbiolo, originating from the Montefico vineyard's steep, south-facing slopes. Encompassing 4 hectares, this vineyard's limestone-rich soils and cooler microclimate produce structured wines with intense depth and precision . Aged for 36 months in large oak barrels, followed by further bottle aging, the wine reveals a deep garnet color with aromas of black cherries, iron, and dried herbs. The palate delivers a robust core of dark fruits, savory spices, and hints of tobacco, supported by firm tannins and vibrant acidity. The persistent finish highlights the cru’s powerful structure and potential for long-term aging.
