Tasting notes
Compared to the 2020 vintage, the 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano is a whole other wine. This expression is rich, abundant and defined by an elegant mineral tone that gives it backbone and linearity. It boasts plenty of dark fruit at its core with a presentation that is firmly structured and tightly coiled. The wine's tannic structure is bold and powerful, requiring more bottle age.

Four to five weeks on skins. 30 months in oak. Savoury and mineral nose. Very appetising and complex. (JR)
The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano is perhaps the most complete of the 2019 Riservas at this stage. It offers fine depth, plenty of tannin and nascent emerging inner sweetness to tie it all together. A wine of stature and textural depth, the Montestefano is my early favorite in this lineup.
