Red dry
The wine is made from the single "Montefico" vineyard. Maceration lasts 28 days. Fermentation is carried out at 30°C. The wine is aged for 36 months in large oak casks and 6 months in the bottle.
Aromas of cherries, strawberries, tobacco, black tea and aromatic herbs; on the palate subtle and powerful, mineral, with a very long finish of sweet fruit.
Serve at 16–18 °C with risotto, lamb roasts, wild meat, mushroom stews and truffles.
This wine knocks it out of the park. The beautiful Produttori del Barbaresco 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico delivers a lovely combination of perfectly ripened fruit, spice and etched mineral. Those qualities transfer to the palate, where the wine shows elegantly chalky tannins. It finishes with power and concentration that is attractive but never overboard. This wine stands out for its impeccable balance. Jan 30, 2025
Cola, rhubarb and balsamic complexity to the violet, pomegranate and black-cherry aromas. The medium-bodied palate is firm and rustic with massive structure, though it lacks a bit of meat over the bones. Flavors of violets, cinnamon and savory dried cherries come through with air. Stern, licoricy finish. Needs time to evolve. Thursday, May 02, 2024
Produttori del Barbaresco, founded in 1958, now has 51 members and controls more than 100 hectares of premium Nebbiolo vineyards in Barbaresco. Each family is in full control of its land, growing Nebbiolo grapes with centuries old skill and dedication. The vinery produces a Barbaresco DOCG, a blend of Nebbiolo grapes harvested from different vineyards, and a simpler Nebbiolo Langhe suited for earlier consumption. In great vintages, nine single-vineyard Barbarescos are produced from nine classic premium sites within the Barbaresco village boundaries: Asili, Rabajà, Pora, Montestefano, Ovello, Pajè, Montefico, Muncagota, and Rio Sordo. These are the geographical names of sites where Nebbiolo grapes have always been cultivated. The name of the single-vineyards, the total number of bottles produced, and the name of the owners of the vineyards are marked on the labels. Produttori del Barbaresco, which vinifies only Nebbiolo grapes, produce around 550 000 bottles per year. In a good vintage they are divided among Barbaresco (50%), single vineyard Barbarescos (30%) and Nebbiolo Langhe (20%).
