“The 2020 Barbaresco Montefico Vigna Bric Mentina is laced with hints of white pepper, kirsch, mint, orange peel and chalk. It offers plenty of Montefico signatures, but with an extra kick of mid-palate pliancy that adds allure as well as immediacy. Best of all, the 2020 will be ready to go in just a few years’ time. The 2020 is showing so well today. It’s a dynamite wine.” – Antonio Galloni

“Aromas of blue flower, prune, leather and tobacco come to the forefront. The aromas follow over to the full-bodied palate, along with cherry compote, fruit cake and baking spice before closing on a note of bitter almond. Velvety tannins provide enveloping support. Drink 2025–2030. Abv: 14.5%”
