BARBARESCO RISERVA 'MONTESTEFANO' PRODUTTORI DEL BARBARESCO 2019 DESCRIPTION


Barbaresco Riserva "Montestefano" by Produttori del Barbaresco is a Barbaresco with pleasant spicy and smoky notes, a nice tannic texture, elegant and a lingering finish. We are in the northeastern part of the Barbaresco cru, in one of the most historic and important vineyards, increasingly similar in characteristics to a Barolo.
Montestefano is home to one of the longest-lived expressions of Barbaresco, where earthy, fruity and spicy scents combine in a unique marriage. The Cantina Sociale dei Produttori del Barbaresco is one of the most prestigious wineries in the area and has now become an example for modern cooperatives. Always dedicated to Barolo, only in 1984 did it begin producing Barbaresco, the new luxury and table wine that was born from the magic and perfect synergy of soil, exposure and human labour: south-facing vineyards located in the Langhe between 200 and 400 meters above sea level, with a clayey, limestone-rich soil and a climate based on hot summers and cold winters.
Harvesting is by hand and is brought forward a few days concerning that of Barolo, after which the must is fermented in steel at a controlled temperature of 28°-30°C for 15-24 days and then begins ageing in wood for at least 36 months, resting then in bottle for at least 6 months before release. Barbaresco "Montestefano" is a wine dedicated to ageing, less austere than Barolo, but certainly more ready to drink; we are dealing with an elegant and full-bodied wine, structured, complex and full.
When young, it shows fruity characters, which then evolve to aromas of violets, dried flowers and spices. With ageing, the bouquet reveals great richness, pleasant breadth and important elegance.
