"The 2020 Barbaresco Montefico Vigna Bric Mentina is a very pretty wine that captures all the magic of this great site, but without all of the explosive tension of the very best years. I doubt that will matter much to most consumers, though. A beguiling mix of macerated cherry, rose petal, dried leaves and spice builds into vibrant, salivating finish. In 2020, the Montefico is perhaps just a touch slender, but it makes up for that with its superb energy." 

Kerin O'Keefe, 93 Points 

"Aromas of blue flower, prune, leather and tobacco come to the forefront. The aromas follow over to the full-bodied palate, along with cherry compote, fruit cake and baking spice before closing on a note of bitter almond. Velvety tannins provide enveloping support." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
