Montestefano is one of the best vineyards in Barbaresco, characterized by a very calcareous soil and a very important slope, which also guarantees excellent drainage of the soil. It is a fairly warm vineyard, which is why the Barbaresco here always proves full and structured, with aggressive tannins and great acidity.
The Barbaresco "Montestefano" Riserva dei Produttori del Barbaresco is a wine of great elegance, with intense aromas of red fruits, licorice and leather and a broad sip with a fresh and savory vein that makes the sip harmonious and persistent.
Fermentation takes place in steel at a controlled temperature of 30°C, maceration on the skins lasts 28 days and after malolactic fermentation the refinement takes place in 25-50hl oak barrels for about 30 months, a longer refinement in barrels than usual and this gives the wine spicy notes, cocoa and licorice, and an important structure, for a Barbaresco capable of aging for decades.
The Barbaresco Montestefano Produttori del Barbaresco will give emotions if waited a few years but can already be tasted now, perhaps paired with a dish of polenta and rabbit.
