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. On the nose, layered aromas of crisp red fruits, such as cherry and currant, unfold, intertwined with floral notes of dog rose and hints of aromatic herbs, enriched by a pronounced flinty minerality and nuances of delicate spices.

On the palate, it reveals a powerful and austere structure, supported by noble and vibrant tannins that define its backbone. 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.
