Description

"The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico is one of the most searingly tannic wines in the range. Readers will have to be patient with the 2019, as it is going to need time. As always, Montefico is a Barbaresco built on linear intensity more than size. In 2019, the qualities are quite accented. Time in the glass opens the bouquet nicely, but the 2019 remains quite closed." 93 Points, Antonio Galloni - Vinous, 2023

Produttori del Barbaresco produces nine single vineyard Riserva wines, but only in great vintages. These wines are made from a selection of grapes sourced from nine historically premium sites located in the Barbaresco village: Asili, Montefico, Montestefano, Muncagota, Ovello, Paje, Pora, Rabaja, and Rio Sordo.

Since their first release in 1967, they have been vinified and aged in the same style to showcase their unique personalities in their purest form. The vinification process includes fermentation at 30°C, 32 days of skin contact, and malolactic fermentation. Afterward, the wine is aged for 36 months in large oak barrels and 9 months in the bottle.
