About Produttori del Barbaresco 2016 Barbaresco Riserva, Montestefano
Perhaps the world's most celebrated wine co-operative the Produttori Del Barbaresco, founded in 1956 is today considered one of the most consistent and top-quality producers in the region. Now some 56 growers contribute with a very wide array of vineyard holdings. This Riserva is sourced from the Montestefano vineyard, an 11-acre vineyard with south/south-east exposure and calcareous limestone soil. This 100% Nebbiolo aged 36 months in large oak barrels and 9 months in the bottle.
Vinous scored this 98 saying "The 2016 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano is another profound wine in this lineup. There is virtually no perception of tannin, as the fruit is so rich and so voluptuous. Dark cherry/plum fruit, spice, menthol, licorice, and a whole range of balsamic inflections grow as the Montestefano shows off its class. This profound Barbaresco will thrill readers for years to come."
