CRITIC REVIEWS
Monica Larner
The Produttori del Barbaresco 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico is especially broad and thick in texture. It feels generous to the senses, wrapping thickly over the palate with a pretty mix of firm tannins and soft fruit fiber. These elements help to increase both the volume and the persistence of this classic wine. There is some dryness on the finish (and 15% alcohol), and you also taste crushed mineral and stone. Production is 10,000 bottles. I give this wine an edge in terms of future aging potential.

Barbaresco. Concentrated mid ruby with bricky rim. Ripe, sweet cherry fruit with lift and savoury spicy damson hints. Full succulent cherry fruit that is still compact and with rich chewy tannins. Long and multilayered. This has a future, but I would happily drink this now. (WS)
