This Barbaresco Montestefano Riserva from the acclaimed 2017 vintage offers a complex and evolving bouquet. Aromas of dried rose petals, tar, and ripe cherry intermingle with notes of licorice, wild herbs, and a hint of forest floor. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a powerful structure, showcasing high acidity and firm, yet refined tannins that promise longevity. Flavors of red fruit, spice, and savory mineral undertones lead to a long, persistent finish.
