Full, enveloping and with great persistence, Montestefano is sometimes referred to as the "Barolo of Barbaresco".

Montestefano Riserva is exquisite and harmonious from start to finish. Of the Produttori's nine great Riservas, it is the one that best conceals its tannins, as the fruit is intensely fragrant, rich and seductive. For us, it is a synthesis of Montefico, Ovello and Rabajà. Today, Montestefano gives the impression of being relatively accessible, but it will almost certainly go through a few more stages of closure before it fully opens up. On the nose, we are surprised by the sheer endless complexity and depth of a Barolo. Its silky, polished tannins give an impression of sensual elegance. Crushed meadow flowers, mint, liquorice and dark red cherries are just some of the notes that envelop the deep, long finish. Fabulous! SUPERIORE.DE

"This wine is usually the darkest and most austere of the series. The flavours are quite ripe, with plums and sultanas. The tannins are soft, resulting in a juicy and chewy mouthfeel." Wine Advocate

"The Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano 2020 is one of the most elegant and sophisticated wines in this series. Bright red fruit, blood orange, spice, mint and cedar are beautifully emphasised. The tannins are remarkably polished for a young, recently bottled Riserva. I admire its balance and elegance. This is a particularly refined edition of Montestefano. In 2020, the blend of vineyards is slightly younger than in the past, as one of the blocks of older vineyards was replanted and not used. If I could only have one of the Riservas in 2020, it would be this one!" Vinous
