Produttori Del Barbaresco Barbaresco Montestefano Riserva 1.5L 2021

Ian D'Agata 98+ "Good full red-ruby. Flowers, red berries, flint and smoke dominate dark cherry aromas on the nose. Then very dense but lifted, bright flavours of milk chocolate, smoke and dark fruit on the tactile, peppery finish. Usually, Barbarescos from Montestefano are richer and thicker compared to the more mineral and sharp wines from Montefico, but in 2021 these two vineyards threw a monkey wrench into the smooth runnings of our thought processes. In fact, this year it’s quite the opposite, with the Riserva Montefico the much fuller wine on the palate and this Montestefano a seemingly lighter, fresher wine. So beware all those out there who’ll write that the Montestefano is big and massive as it is in almost all other years: That’s the normal and what they expect, but in 2021, while the Montestefano Riserva is certainly is a big wine, it is nowhere near the brooding massive beauty that we are accustomed to."-Ian D'Agata
