This 7.5 acre vineyard is one of the best kept secrets in Barbaresco. Montefico takes on the deep character of a classic Barbaresco. Cultivated in a warm microclimate this wine has a massive character that is austere without being tight. The first vintage of Montefico was produced in 1967. The Montefico is Ruby red in color with an amazing bouquet which is both spicy and intense with notes of red fruits. Full-bodied with a solid structure intense minerality and slow-maturing tannins."
Cellar Selection Wild berry fragrant blue flower baking spice and a balsamic note of menthol shape the nose. Structured and focused the tense palate delivers juicy red cherry raspberry compote star anise and cinnamon while taut fine-grained tannins and bright acidity provide the backbone. It has a youthfully austere finish that promises great aging potential. Drink 2022?2036. - KERIN O?KEEFE
The 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico is another of the more inward reticent wines in the range. A core of huge dark fruit virtually covers the beams of incisive tannin that are such a signature of this Barbaresco site. Dark red plum chalk cured meats plum iron smoke leather and licorice confer attractive elements of savoriness to this potent structured Barbaresco.
