Description
The Barbaresco Montestefano Riserva DOCG 2020 from Produttori del Barbaresco embodies the essence of one of the denomination’s most celebrated crus, enhanced by the concentration and balance of a particularly favorable vintage. It presents an intense and vibrant garnet red color, introducing an olfactory profile of great finesse and complexity.

The well-integrated acidity imparts freshness and tension, leading to a long and persistent finish, characterized by returning notes of crisp fruit, deep mineral undertones, and an elegant aromatic persistence. This 2020 Riserva is a wine of remarkable depth and aging potential, an authentic expression of the severe elegance of the Montestefano cru.
