2011 vintage, bottle 6,473 of 13,333. Drinking great. Savory, meaty, fine grain tannin. Acidity on the low side. More modern style of Barbaresco.

Mid Ruby in colour. Aromas of menthol. On the palate again, virtually no fruit at 15 years - ultra savoury with sandy, tarry, fine powdery, yet persistent tannins. This was a great match with Roast Lamb for Mother’s Day in Australia. No. 3086 of 10,000 bottles. Jancis’s tasting note back in 2012 said “this would make a great introduction to mature Nebbiolo “.

Chewy, raisin and pungent, umami savory flavor with a bit of stem. The 2007 Montefico has at least another ten great years as of late 2021

Very dark, well delineated structure with a slightly mineral element. Drank with Muncagota and Montestafano and was right up there. Very good.
