This breathtaking Barbaresco (total production approx. 1,300 bottles) shows more power and intensity than you would normally find in a Barbaresco. It opens with heady aromas of wild berries, new leather, undergrowth and menthol. On the palate, it shows ripe black raspberries, juicy cherries and liquorice before finishing on a tobacco note. It is still youthfully nervous and somewhat austere, it still needs some time to develop fully. SUPERIORE.DE
"There's plenty of flesh embracing the macerated cherry, strawberry, anise, iron and alpine herb aromas and flavors. Firm, bordering on austere even, yet balanced and super long, with an aftertaste of fruit and mineral. Alluring from the get-go, this is accessible despite its firm structure." Wine Spectator
"The 2019 Barbaresco Montefico Vecchie Viti is an intoxicating, explosive wine. Bright, focussed and energetic, the 2019 screams with Montefico character. Crushed stones, slate, mint, white pepper, dried cherry and chalk are some of the many notes that characterise this taut, vibrant Barbaresco. Clean mineral notes effortlessly extend the finish. The Montefico is often one of my favourite wines in the range. The 2019 is really something special. What a wine!" Vinous
