Buy OnlineA 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.
98/100 Kerin O'Keefe, January 2024 (2019 Vintage)
"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 savoury. 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 ageing potential."
93+/100 Antonio Galloni, Vinous (2019 Vintage)
"The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico is one of the most searingly tannic wines in the range. Readers will have to be patient with the 2019, as it is going to need time. As always, Montefico is a Barbaresco built on linear intensity more than size. In 2019, the qualities are quite accented. Time in the glass opens the bouquet nicely, but the 2019 remains quite closed."
