Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Montefico 2016

Montefico in its element. Dried rose, crushed stone, lavender and fresh mint open with precision and purity, nothing blurred, nothing overdone. The structure is lean and chiseled, with firm, fine-grained tannins framing fruit that sits closer to the elegant end of Barbaresco's spectrum. Sage and sweet pipe tobacco linger on a finish that's as much about line as it is about length. Sits neatly between Montestefano's richness and Ovello's vivid energy, a beautifully calibrated wine for those who prefer their Nebbiolo taut and transparent rather than plush. Drink 2024–2040.
