About the wine
This Barbaresco Montefico appears as a refined and harmonious Nebbiolo that impresses with its elegant scent of roses and spices as well as a rich, dry taste with remarkable structure. It is perfect to accompany delicious food dishes or simply to enjoy in special moments.
The wine appears with a beautiful garnet red colour. The fragrance is broad and elegant with floral notes of roses and subtle spice notes that give a deep and complex aroma.
The taste is dry and full-bodied with a harmonious balance between acid and tannins, which gives it a strong and persistent structure. It has impressive storage potential and will undoubtedly develop further over time.
Serve this Barbaresco in large, attractive glasses, at a temperature of 16-18°C to highlight its complex nuances.
The grapes for this Barbaresco come from our Montefico cru vineyard in Barbaresco, where they are grown in compact soil characterized by limestone and clay. The vines face south and lie at a height of 230 to 260 meters above sea level, which gives the grapes optimal growing conditions. The wine is produced with the Guyot training system in a modified version.
After the harvest, the grapes are de-stemmed and lightly crushed, after which the must is fermented on skins in temperature-controlled steel tanks. The wine is then matured in large oak casks, and after bottling it is further stored in the cellar, where silence and darkness ensure the optimal maturation process.
