Montefico 2017 Produttori del Barbaresco, Barbaresco, Montefico Riserva

From: Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy Varietal: Nebbiolo Taste and Critical Acclaim V 95 Vinous                                                                                                                  The 2017 Barbaresco Montefico is one of the stand-outs in this range. It shows the piercing tannins typical of this site, and yet has more than enough fruit to balance those tannins, certainly more so than wines like the Rabajà. This exposed site benefits from cooling winds from the north, clearly a benefit in 2017. Even in the early going, the balance here is terrific. In 2017, the Montefico is one of theclear stand outs in the range. RP 95 Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateThe Produttori del Barbaresco 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico is especially broad and thick in texture. It feels generous to the senses, wrapping thickly over the palate with a pretty mix of firm tannins and soft fruit fiber. These elements help to increase both the volume and the persistence of this classic wine. Th
