Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Montefico Riserva 2017 stands as an exceptional expression of one of Italy’s most prestigious terroirs. First bottled in 1970, this academic cru is cultivated on high-calcium soils that impart remarkable minerality, while the region’s brisk morning temperatures contribute to the wine’s signature elegance and finesse.

Carefully sourced from a premium private cellar, this Riserva showcases the classic characteristics of Barbaresco, offering a refined bouquet of dried cherries, wild red berries, and subtle hints of rose petal and licorice. The palate is perfectly balanced with structured tannins and vibrant acidity, making it a wine that is definitely built to evolve for many years. Its aging potential allows for a gradual unfolding of complex layers, rewarding patience with increasing depth and sophistication.

The 2017 vintage reflects a harmonious growing season in the Langhe region, marked by balanced weather conditions that enhanced the ripeness and aromatic complexity of the Nebbiolo grapes. This wine is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and deep respect for tradition upheld by Produttori del Barbaresco, a cooperative renowned for producing some of Piedmont’s finest Barbaresco wines.

Perfect for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a wine that combines both power and grace, this Barbaresco Montefico Riserva embodies the noble heritage and unique terroir of the region. Enjoy it now or cellar it for an exceptional experience in the years to come.

Reviews

The Produttori del Barbaresco 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico is especially broad and thick in texture. It feels generous to the senses, wrapping thickly over the palate with a pretty mix of firm tannins and soft fruit fiber. These elements help to increase both the volume and the persistence of this classic wine. There is some dryness on the finish (and 15% alcohol), and you also taste crushed mineral and stone. Production is 10,000 bottles. I give this wine an edge in terms of future aging potential.
The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico is one of the stand-outs in this range. It shows the piercing tannins typical of this site, and yet has more than enough fruit to balance those tannins, certainly moreso than wines like the Rabaja. This exposed site benefits from cooling winds from the north, clearly a benefit in 2017. Even in the early going, the balance here is terrific. In 2017, the Montefico is one of the clear stand outs in the range.
