Produttori Del Barbaresco - Barbaresco Riserva 'Montestefano' 1996 750ml

1996 Barbaresco DOCG Riserva 750ml

Description

Barbaresco DOCG is produced every year from the 100 hectares of vineyards controlled by the Produttori within the appellation, mainly in the Barbaresco village itself.

In the best vintages, the historical crus are vinified separately. Montestefano is one of the vineyards with higher concentration of calcium in the soil that gives to the wine a powerful tannic structure.

It produces deep-flavoured wines with massive tannins, but quite ripe and well-integrated in the wine because of the warm, southerly exposure. In a wet season its grapes can hold rain well and it is usually the last one to be picked among the Barbaresco vineyards.

For all these reasons it is probably the Barbaresco that recalls Barolo, where tar and roses prevails on the refined violet flavors. Despite these qualities, it remains a true Barbaresco, never too heavy on the palate and with a classy finish that lingers on the palate without overwhelming your senses. First produced by Produttori in 1974.
