TASTING NOTES

This is the wine you reach for when you want to turn an ordinary dinner into a memorable experience. The 2015 Produttori del Barbaresco Riserva Montefico feels like a daydream in a glass, with juicy wild cherry and crushed raspberry leading the way, wrapped in subtle whispers of white pepper and liquorice that keep every sip interesting.

Hailing from a historic cooperative founded in 1958 in Barbaresco, this Riserva comes from one of their most prized vineyards—a steep, south-facing slope with mineral-rich soils that give the wine its signature tension and structure. The warm 2015 vintage means the fruit ripened perfectly, delivering layers of complex aromas like crushed rock and delicate florals alongside an herbaceous lift that keeps things fresh.

With polished tannins and bright acidity, it’s approachable now but designed to evolve beautifully over the next decade or more. Think roast lamb with rosemary, duck confit, or a hearty cassoulet; this wine’s depth will elevate your meal and make the moment feel truly special. Perfect for slowing down and savoring every bite and sip.

"Balsamic aromas of camphor and new leather mingle with scorched earth and mature black-skinned berry on this full-bodied red. Mirroring the nose, the enveloping palate delivers ripe Marasca cherry, black raspberry and licorice alongside tightly knit, fine-grained tannins before a hazelnut close. Drink 2022–2030. *Cellar Selection*"

"Montefico lies immediately to the south of Ovello and just north of Montestefano. Produttori's first single-vineyard release from this site was in 1970. In 2015, it seems to combine the tightness of Asili with the fragrant, red-fruited beauty of Muncagota. There's some earthy complexity and black pepper spice, accompanied by gentle but purposeful acidity."

"Savory notes of salty licorice and eucalyptus combine with cherry, plum and tar flavors in this beefy red, which is broad, maintaining a sense of freshness, with ripe tannins that are well-integrated and balanced. The savory note echoes on the finish."

"The 2015 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico is one of the most intriguing wines in this range. My impression is that the 2015 still has quite a bit to say, but this is Montefico, where the wines are slow to reveal themselves. White pepper, dried herbs, dried red cherry and mint add a super-appealing upper register. This is such a compelling Barbaresco."
