This Barbaresco Montestefano Riserva, crafted from 100% Nebbiolo, is expected to exhibit a profound ruby red color, evolving towards garnet with age. On the nose, expect an intense and complex bouquet of ripe red cherries, raspberries, and dried roses, intertwined with classic Nebbiolo notes of tar, licorice, and earthy undertones, possibly hints of truffle or saddle leather developing with bottle age. The palate will be powerful and full-bodied, yet elegant, with high acidity providing freshness and firm, well-integrated tannins offering structure. Flavors echo the nose, with persistent red fruit, spicy notes, and a long, savory finish hinting at mineral and tertiary complexity.
