The 2020 Barbaresco Montestefano unveils its classic character with a dense and plush profile, a true embodiment of the Montestefano style. This vintage, like its Barbaresco counterparts, is notably approachable—an ideal choice for readers who prefer wines ready for enjoyment without the need for extended cellaring. Rich, dark Nebbiolo fruit intertwines seamlessly with notes of spice, leather, incense, and licorice, culminating in a luxurious and resonant finish. While undeniably a stunning wine, the only lament lies in its proximity to the exceptional 2019 vintage, leaving it just shy of that pinnacle.
Rich meat-focused dishes like braised short ribs, beef roasts, lamb shoulder, or veal chops. Here you'll find that the smoke and earthy qualities of the wine are complemented by the dish.
Sage, mint, lavender, and plum unfold in the glass, offering an enticing aromatic profile. Earthy notes of iris, camphor, and dark-skinned berry combine with truffle, leather, and wild herbs, creating a captivating olfactory experience.
Hailing from one of the premier sites in Barbaresco, this full-bodied red wine impresses with firm structure and incredible richness. Raspberry compote, ripe Marasca cherry, tobacco, and licorice flavors dominate the palate, accompanied by youthfully assertive, noble tannins, leaving a delicious and enduring impression.
