Drink: 2026-2050
98 Points Kerin O'Keefe
Alpine 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.

Each sniff open another door to this fragrant wine. At first aromas of sour red berries pop out of the glass, followed by a bouquet of rose, then whole cloves and long pepper corns. Polished with cherry jam and wild herbs at its core as the tannins direct the attention to the earthy and mineral driven finish. Drink 2026 onward.
Winemaker Notes
Experience the vibrant character of Produttori del Barbaresco's Barbaresco Montefico Riserva 2019. A Nebbiolo capturing the essence of the Montefico vineyard, with notes of red fruit, spice, and a subtle earthiness. A perfect pairing for hearty Italian cuisine.
