Whereas in most vintages the Montefico can be a touch austere, the 2021 has plenty of energy, but also the textural depth to pull it all together. In that sense the Montefico is a terrific example of the vintage here. Its concentration and persistence are the stuff dreams are made of. Hints of sage, graphite, chalk, and mint explode on the back end.\"- Antonio Galloni\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"58\" data-end=\"687\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"58\" data-end=\"69\"\u003eTerroir\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"69\" data-end=\"72\"\u003eSourced from the historic Montefico cru in Barbaresco, this Riserva comes from one of the appellation’s most revered vineyard sites. Located just east of the village of Barbaresco, Montefico is known for its calcareous marl soils and favorable southwest exposure, producing Nebbiolo of exceptional structure, depth, and longevity. Compared with some of the softer, more approachable crus of the region, Montefico is often celebrated for its firm backbone, mineral character, and ability to age gracefully for decades. The outstanding 2021 vintage delivered wines of remarkable concentration, balance, and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"689\" data-end=\"1202\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"689\" data-end=\"721\"\u003eWinemaking \u0026amp; Technical Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"721\" data-end=\"724\"\u003eProduced only in exceptional vintages, Produttori del Barbaresco’s single-vineyard Riservas are among the benchmark wines of Piedmont. The fruit is sourced exclusively from growers farming within the Montefico cru and vinified with a traditional philosophy that emphasizes purity, terroir expression, and longevity. Extended aging allows the wine’s tannins and complexity to develop while preserving the character that makes Montefico one of Barbaresco’s most distinctive sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1204\" data-end=\"1719\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1204\" data-end=\"1221\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1221\" data-end=\"1224\"\u003eBrilliant garnet in the glass, the 2021 opens with aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, and blood orange layered with notes of anise, crushed stone, dried herbs, and tea leaf. The palate is structured and intensely focused, offering vibrant red fruit framed by firm, finely detailed tannins and energetic acidity. Layers of tobacco, licorice, earth, and mineral nuance emerge with air, leading to a long, powerful finish marked by precision, persistence, and remarkable complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1721\" data-end=\"2095\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1721\" data-end=\"1747\"\u003eFood Pairing \u0026amp; Service\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1747\" data-end=\"1750\"\u003eA classic Nebbiolo built for the table, this wine pairs beautifully with braised beef, osso buco, truffle dishes, mushroom risotto, roast game, and aged cheeses. Its structure and acidity make it especially well suited to rich Northern Italian cuisine. Decant for at least one to two hours in its youth and serve slightly below room temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2097\" data-end=\"2513\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2097\" data-end=\"2120\"\u003eCellaring Potential\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2120\" data-end=\"2123\"\u003eThis is a wine built for the long haul. While already displaying extraordinary character, the 2021 Montefico Riserva is likely to reward 20–30+ years of cellaring. With time, its floral and red fruit profile will evolve into increasingly complex notes of dried rose, leather, tar, forest floor, and savory spice while maintaining the structure and elegance that define great Barbaresco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Produttori del Barbaresco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46245272158404,"sku":"JB4136575","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/8635\/9236\/files\/ProduttoridelBarbarescoMontefico2021750ml.jpg?v=1781383374","url":"https:\/\/www.prismfinewine.com\/products\/produttori-del-barbaresco-montefico-2021-750ml","provider":"Prism Fine Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
