"Ruby red. The nose is rich, spicy with red fruit notes like clove, raspberry, and red cherry. The wine is full-bodied with solid structure, intense minerality and slow-maturing tannins." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2017 Barbaresco Montefico is one of the stand-outs in this range. It shows the piercing tannins typical of this site, and yet has more than enough fruit to balance those tannins, certainly moreso than wines like the Rabajà. This exposed site benefits from cooling winds from the north, clearly a benefit in 2017. Even in the early going, the balance here is terrific. In 2017, the Montefico is one of the clear stand outs in the range." —Antonio Galloni, Vinous |
