Montefico sits on Barbaresco's northern chain of hills, and it's one of the more elegant, mineral crus in Produttori del Barbaresco's lineup: think graphite, roses and taut red berries over a powerful, tannic structural frame. These single-vineyard Riserva bottlings, reserved for the strongest years only, are among the great values in age-worthy wine anywhere — Nebbiolo from a top co-op that consistently delivers at 5, 10, 20, even 30 years. The 2016 was a stunning, benchmark vintage prized for its transparency and precise structure, which plays perfectly to Montefico's naturally lifted, pure style and gives a Riserva of real clarity and drive. Built to age, it rewards patience — a lovely study in how a limestone-rich, south-facing northern-commune site reads in a classic vintage. Decant if you open one young.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2016 Barbaresco Montefico is a jewel of a wine. Freshly cut flowers, minerals, crushed rocks, rose petal and lavender are all finely cut. As always, the Montefico is tense and chiseled in style. Its sense of transparency is simply beguiling. Sage, mint and sweet pipe tobacco are some of the nuances that linger. The Montefico is a Barbaresco that will thrill readers who enjoy taut reds. It blends the fruit richness of the Montestefano with the verve of Ovello." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

"This Riserva pours from the bottle with a medium dark appearance, showing more color saturation and fruit concentration than the other wines in this series. The Produttori del Barbaresco 2016 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico (with 10,136 bottles released) is a wine of power and density, and you sense this clearly in the aromatic determination and heft delivered here. (Like the other Riservas in this group, it clocks in at a 15% alcohol content.) The fruit tones veer toward dark purple and black, with plum and wild blackberries. There are earthy tones as well, with potting soil and iron ore. This wine plays its cards of volume and width with an expert hand, thanks to a blend of fruit from the vineyards of the Casetta, Grasso, Rocca and Vacca families." —Monica Larner

Wine Spectator

"There is some weight and richness to this red, allied to cherry and plum flavors. Flourishing notes of iron, tobacco and black pepper add detail, while the dusty, nervous tannins emerge on the long finish. Shows more structure today, yet this has all the components in the right place."

Kerin O'Keefe

"Dark culinary spice, camphor and forest floor aromas mingle together in the glass with a whiff of graphite. The burly palate is rather lean on fruit richness, offering dried cherry, steeped prune and star anise alongside close-grained tannins that grip the close. You’ll also notice the warmth of evident alcohol." —Kerin O'Keefe
