Produttori del Barbaresco Montestefano, Barbaresco Riserva DOCG, Italy 2021

Montestefano, Barbaresco Riserva DOCG, Italy 2021 is a profound and structured expression of one of Barbaresco’s most celebrated crus. Crafted from 100% Nebbiolo, the 2021 vintage offers captivating aromas of dark cherry, rose petal, orange peel, licorice, and baking spice, layered with notes of tobacco, earth, and crushed stone. Powerful yet impeccably balanced, it combines concentrated fruit, vibrant acidity, and firm, polished tannins that promise decades of evolution. Widely regarded as one of the flagship Riservas in the Produttori lineup, Montestefano showcases exceptional depth, complexity, and cellar-worthy pedigree.

"The 2021 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano pours a medium red color and remains somewhat shy at this early stage with notes of black raspberries and dusty earth. Medium-bodied, it has more structure to the tannins and a coiled feel, with refreshing notes of orange citrus and mandarin that suit its firmer frame. Historically, this site was sometimes described as the “Barolo of Barbaresco” for its structure." Jeb Dunnuck 97+
