Kerin O'Keefe, 96 Points 

"The impressive 2020 Montestefano from La Ca’ Nova opens with heady scents of iris, violet, wild berry and new leather. Full-bodied and utterly delicious, the enveloping, structured palate doles out ripe black cherry, crushed raspberry, baking spice and licorice alongside firm, seasoned tannins." 

Vinous, 95 Points 

"The 2020 Barbaresco Montestefano is a dense, plush wine, in other words classic Montestefano. Like all the Barbarescos here, the Montestefano is relatively open, which will surely please readers who can't or don't want to cellar their wines. Dark Nebbiolo fruit intermingled with spice, leather, incense and licorice build into the creamy, resonant finish. The 2020 is a gorgeous wine." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
