A complex and complete Barbaresco Riserva from a top Cru vineyard. Montefico is one of the richer of the Crus in Produttori's famous range, occupying a warm site near the legendary and even more powerful Montestefano.While still offering the refinement of this more feminine Nebbiolo style, the sheer depth of the Montefico offers lushness in the nearer term as well as a seriously long-term future in cellar.
99/100 Kerin O'Keefe (2021 Vintage)
"For the last few vintages, the Produttori del Barbaresco Montefico Riserva has been even more structured than the firm’s Montestefano, and the 2021 continues this trend. It’s also incredibly fragrant, delivering scents of camphor, new leather, blood orange, hazelnut and spice while the youthfully nervous palate delivers raspberry, black cherry, star anise, truffle and nutmeg alongside brooding tannins. This has the structure and tannic backbone of a Barolo."
97/100 Monica Larner, RobertParker.com, Wine Advocate (2021 Vintage)
"The Produttori del Barbaresco 2021 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico is another large-scale Nebbiolo in this ladder of Riserva intensity. The wine shows notable texture and depth with flavors of dark fruit, blackcurrant and dried cherry that unfold steadily across the palate. Subtle notes of spice, cinnamon, licorice and camphor build in the background, adding complexity and dimension. Sourced from 3.9 hectares of vines on calcareous clay soils, Montefico consistently delivers a more structured and powerful expression of Barbaresco, and the 2021 vintage amplifies those qualities."
97/100 Antonio Galloni, Vinous (2021 Vintage)
"The 2021 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico is a tense, vibrant wine. Whereas in most vintages the Montefico can be a touch austere, the 2021 has plenty of energy, but also the textural depth to pull it all together. In that sense, the Montefico is a terrific example of the vintage here. Its concentration and persistence are the stuff dreams are made of. Hints of sage, graphite, chalk and mint explode on the back end."
