Barbaresco Riserva 'Montestefano' Produttori del Barbaresco 2016
Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano dei Produttori del Barbaresco comes from south-facing vineyards located in the Langhe region between 200 and 400 metres above sea level, with a clayey soil rich in limestone, and a climate based on hot summers and cold winters.
The harvest is done by hand and is brought forward a few days with respect to that of Barolo, after which the must is fermented in steel at a controlled temperature of 28°-30°C for 15-24 days and then begins ageing in wood for at least 36 months, resting then in the bottle for at least 6 months before release.
Barbaresco Montestefano is a wine born for ageing, less austere than Barolo, but certainly more ready to drink; we are dealing with an elegant and full-bodied wine, structured, complex and full.
