4.1
The wine features a complex bouquet, intricately layering black pepper, red flowers, and red fruits with nuances of wet bark and dried fruits. Its balance is almost seamless. The tannins are good---slightly dry yet well-integrated into the wine's structure, contributing to its overall quality. While it might lean towards being crowd-pleasing, it doesn't shy away from complexity, offering several layers of depth that make it a compelling choice.
About
The Barbaresco produced by the winery amounts to approximately 8,000 bottles each year. For the 2020 vintage, 4,500 bottles were produced from the Montersino vineyard and 6,000 bottles from Montersu. The Montersino vineyard has 19-year-old vines situated at altitudes of 250/280 meters in different parts. The yield is 40 hectoliters per hectare. The wine is produced using prolonged maceration for 30 days under a closed lid at a controlled temperature, followed by ageing in barrels.
