Tasting notes
The 2005 Barbaresco Montefico shows marvelous inner sweetness allied to a power expression of Nebbiolo from one of the village's top sites. Crushed flowers, black cherries, smoke and leather are some of the nuances tha flow from this brooding, inward Barbaresco. The wine opens up beautifully in the glass, showing terrific nuance, complexity and pedigree. Simply put, this is a joyous bottle of Barbaresco Piedmont fans won't want to be without. The 2005 is a tough lighter and more delicate than the 2004, but just as pleasurable.
