This Barbaresco has firm, persistent tannins and a full-bodied structure that truly comes into its own alongside rich proteins and juicy meat. The tannins are softened by the richness of braised and slow-cooked beef and game, while the wine's acidity cuts through the fullness. The floral and spicy notes suit mushroom dishes and mature, hard cheeses, so choose food with weight and juiciness over lean or salty dishes. Avoid fish, as the tannins easily turn metallic.

About the wine

Barbaresco Montefico - impressively refined and harmonious nebbiolo.

Beautiful garnet red color. Elegant aroma with floral tones of roses and spice notes, providing a deep and complex bouquet.

The taste is dry and full-bodied with a harmonious balance between acidity and tannins, giving it a strong and persistent structure.

It has an impressive aging potential and will undoubtedly develop further over time. Serve this Barbaresco in large, beautiful glasses at a temperature of 16-18°C to highlight its complex nuances.

It is perfect to accompany delicious dishes or simply to enjoy on special occasions.

The grapes for this Barbaresco come from the Montefico cru vineyard in Barbaresco, where they are grown in compact soil characterized by limestone and clay. South-facing exposure and located at an altitude of 260 meters above sea level, providing the grapes with optimal growing conditions.

The wine is produced with the Guyot training system in a modified version. After harvest, the grapes are destemmed and lightly crushed, after which the must is fermented on skins in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in large oak barrels, and after bottling, it further matures in the cellar, where silence and darkness ensure the optimal aging process.
