Riserva Montefico Barbaresco Nebbiolo

Enjoying the nerve and austerity of this Montefico, there’s plenty of fruit beginning to express a tertiary side, all backed up by the grippy tannin and firm mineral core. Lifted nose, dried orange peel, crushed mint, dried black cherry, peppercorn, earth, some leathery VA.

Committed infanticide & i liked it 😶

Oct 2023: 10 y.o., first try. Still very tight, strong tannins and classic beautiful nose, not many signs of tertiaries yet. Far less approachable after 5 hours in decanter as compared to another traditionally styled Barbaresco Riserva 2013 of a less known winemaker, open together and started singing after 2 hours in open bottle. The wine built to last and please connoisseurs, 91 pts for know with great potential up to 93-94 pts some day, will give a new try in a few years

DeeeLish! Definitely a delicate version of Nebbiolo. Great nose. Medium tannins. Nice fruit. But not as fruit forward as the Elio Altare we also had at dinner. I need to try more of his single vineyard wines.

Should have waited a few more years before opening, but it was a rough day

This was just terrific!
