Crafted exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes and aged for a minimum of fifty months before release, the 2020 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Riserva Montefico delivers the precise, age-worthy profile expected from Piedmont’s most respected wine cooperative. Sourced from the Montefico vineyard, a single-site parcel situated slightly higher on the southern slopes of the Barbaresco designated origin, this conservatory bottling consistently shows the appellation’s hallmark structural balance alongside remarkably refined texture.

The wine presents an intermediate ruby hue with aromas of steeped sour cherry, blood orange zest, dried rose, and crushed violet. On the palate, bright red fruit leads to subtle notes of Mediterranean herb, sweet tobacco, and damp clay, framed by Nebbiolo’s signature tightly woven tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is notably lingering and saline. While still youthful given the rigorous reserve aging timeline, the 2020 vintage offers immediate accessibility to drinkers who favor structured Italian reds, and will develop tertiary forest floor and leather notes beautifully over five to ten additional years in a cellar.

Suggested Food Pairings

  • Langhe-style tajarin pasta tossed with butter and aged Parmigiano-Reggiano
  • Hard regional cheeses such as Castelmagno or Piave Vecchio
  • Slow-braised lamb shanks or wild boar ragù
  • Porcini mushroom risotto or grilled duck breast with juniper reduction

Serve the wine at sixty to sixty-five degrees Fahrenheit and allow it to breathe in a large white wine or Bordeaux glass for thirty to forty minutes before pouring. This step unlocks the tighter aromatic compounds and softens the youthful tannic grip, revealing the full elegance the consortium cultivates.

"Two standouts from the 2020 vintage are Montefico and Asili. The Produttori del Barbaresco 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico comes from a site that is distant from the warm air that travels through the Tanaro River Valley and is closed within an amphitheater. This is a beautiful vineyard that looks toward the village of Neive and has active limestone soils. The wine is especially compact in texture and has a distinctly herbal note, with dried rosemary and lavender, that gives it a Mediterranean or botanical feel. The palate delivers a brief moment of softness, but otherwise the wine is structured and rich."
