Montestefano is the cru people reach for when they want to argue that Barbaresco hits every bit as hard as Barolo. It is the broad-shouldered, structured end of the appellation, and it does not do delicate. Luigi Giordano is a historic Barbaresco estate that the wine world has only recently started talking about: seven hectares, family-run, and bottling under its own label for as long as the famous names have been, if not longer. Those seven hectares run across several crus - among them Asili and Montestefano, two of Barbaresco's finest - and the Montestefano parcel is a single hectare at 275 metres. Everything is traditional: organic farming, native-yeast fermentation, and ageing in large Slavonian casks. 2019 was a top vintage in Piedmont, and it gives this muscular site depth and generosity without blurring its edges. Decant it now, or hand it a few more years to settle into itself.

Wine Enthusiast

95 points

"Well-balanced with dark berried fruits and savory spice, this wine exudes a classic character with hints of truffle, tar and rose. It offers more depth and rounded flavors on the palate with preserved cherries, sweet tobacco, leather and a chalk minerality."
