Montefico Barbaresco docg Produttori del Barbaresco Riserva 2017

Barbaresco Riserva "Montefico" by Produttori del Barbaresco is a very balanced red wine with a traditional style, produced exclusively with Nebbiolo grapes around "Montefico" cru in the municipality of Barbaresco. After aging for 36 months in oak barrels, Barbaresco Montefico presents a beautiful ruby red color tending to garnet. The nose discloses a fruity and spicy bouquet with notes of cherry and licorice. Endowed with good freshness and minerality, important tannins and good structure, it is perfect to combine it with meat sauce pasta or red meat main courses.
You can appreciate Barbaresco Riserva Montefico many years after the harvest.

The birth of the company dates back to 1894 thanks to Domizio Cavazza, which was the headmaster of the Enological School of Alba and the owner of the Castle of Barbaresco and the adjoining farm. Domizio Cavazza founded the Cantine Sociali of Barbaresco for "the production of luxury wines and meals", bringing together 9 families of winemakers and starting to vinify Nebbiolo grapes in the cellars of the Castle. He began to call the wine produced with the name of the district: this is how tradition wants that Barbaresco wine was born. Another important date is 1958, the year in which Don Fiorino Marengo, parish priest of Barbaresco, gathered 19 winegrowers and founded the "Produttori di Barbaresco". The Produttori del Barbaresco currently is one of the most prestigious winery of Langhe region  and is a cooperative that brings together more than 50 winegrowers, counting more than 110 hectares of vineyards cultivated with Nebbiolo vine.
