Barbaresco Montefico “Vecchie Viti” DOCG 2017
Roagna | Piedmont
Az. Agr. I Paglieri | Loc. Paglieri 9 | IT 12050 Barbaresco
Radiant ruby red with purple reflections. In the nose first cherry, then herbal spice, mint and essential oils. Noble woods like cedar and sandalwood mingle with traces of pipe tobacco, smoky tones and damp, autumnal forest floor. On the palate, cherry again, an opulent potpourri of wilted leaves, damp soil, truffles, plus a fine note of old leather. An incredibly complex wine from a famous single vineyard that will give pleasure for many decades to come. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2017 Barbaresco Montefico Vecchie Viti is absolutely beguiling. Of the 2017 vintage Barbarescos, the Montefico is the wine that most resembles it. The combination of the Montefico's austerity and textural breadth makes for an absolutely compelling Barbaresco on so many levels. Sweet red fruits, spice, chalk, mint and blood orange are just a few of the many aromas and flavours that develop into an intense, palate-pleasing finish. Outstanding." Vinous
"Bright, lightening ruby-garnet. Emphatically fragrant nose with lots of fresh fruit, of sour cherry, strawberry and rose petals. Fine-meshed, amazingly polished tannin, carries very long, after fresh plums and raspberries, nice drinking flow." Falstaff
"The 2017 Barbaresco Montefico Vecchie Viti (of which only 1,214 bottles were made) is extremely fine, direct and straightforward with an old-school Nebbiolo intensity that is hard to find in today's modern Barbarescos. The wine has a silky and fragile character with dried cherries, iris roots and iodine. Roagna's house style is characterised by very fine tannins, which can also be found in this vintage. Montefico comes from vines that grow on distinctive blue-grey marl soils." Wine Advocate
