Ca' Nova Barbaresco Montefico Vigna Bric Mentina 2019 (750ML)

96 VM / 95 WE

The 2019 Barbaresco Montefico Vigna Bric Mentina races out of the glass. Chalk, white pepper, crushed rose petal, cinnamon and salt abound For readers who want to understand what Montefico is all about, well, this is it. Over the last year, the Montefico has started to flesh out a bit. Perhaps one day it will catch the Montestefano. For now, the Montefico is a Barbaresco to admire for its vibrant, mineral-drenched personality.-Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Aromas of violet and prune emerge from the glass along with new leather and forest floor. The full-bodied palate is still young but already offers cherry marinated in spirits, baked plum, vanilla, game and licorice set against a backbone of noble tannins and fresh acidity. Drink after 2029.-Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast
