Description

WE 95 / VM 93 pts 

WE: Camphor, underbrush, clove and rose petal aromas lead the nose. The linear, focused palate offers sour cherry, star anise and cracked herbs alongside racy acidity and ground clove before a saline and orange zest finish. Young and austere, it needs time but shows great potential. Drink 2026–2036.

 

VM: The 2016 Barbaresco Montersino is marked by distinct floral overtones, bright red berry fruit and gracious, mid-weight structure. Clean mineral notes add energy to a Barbaresco that stands out for its tense, crystalline personality. Pine, mint, chalk and crushed rocks give the 2016 its distinctive aromatic upper register to balance things out. This is such a vivid and expressive wine.
