Barbaresco Montefico•2021

Delicate red flowers and high-toned berry fruit lead the 2021 Carlo Giacosa Barbaresco Montefico, a poised and vibrant Barbaresco that combines strawberry and raspberry purity with cherry, warm spice and a gently earthy undertone. Fine but insistent tannins and bright acidity give the wine a firm, chalk-tinged frame, promising added nuance and silkiness with some cellaring while already showcasing impressive length and precision.
