If you want to understand how powerful Barbaresco can get, start with Montestefano. Its south-facing slope soaks up extra heat, giving Produttori del Barbaresco's most full-bodied, almost meaty cru, with massive but ripe tannins; people often call it the most Barolo-like wine in the range. The 2011 was a warm, generous vintage, which amplifies all of that into a rich, mouth-filling bottle that's drinking well now with a good decant. Produttori only bottles these single-vineyard Riservas when the year delivers. Big, satisfying and built to last.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano is one of the least expressive of these wines. Inward, powerful and explosive, the 2011 is not in a mood to show much today, that is pretty clear. Still, there is an obvious energy here that is impossible to miss. A firm spine of tannin gives the wine much of its signature power. Dark red cherry, smoke, pomegranate and scorched earth blossom on the dramatic finish. A wine of real density and gravitas, the 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano stands out for its pure, unbridled energy and overall intensity." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

"The 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano is the biggest of the bunch. This wine delivers a lasting sense of structure and intensity that is especially apparent as this Barbaresco hits the palate. The bouquet exhibits signs of ripe fruit with soft layers of blackberry preserves and cherry liqueur. The wine's tannic structure is solid and firmly stitched together, yet this wine is slightly softer and perhaps sweeter than the Riserva Muncagota, for example. This is yet another wine destined for long bottle-aging." —Monica Larner

Wine Spectator

"Lean, intense and racy, this exudes cherry, leather, spice and underbrush aromas and flavors. Dense, beefy tannins shore up the finish, which remains minerally, long and complex. Shows potential but needs time. Best from 2019 through 2035."

Kerin O'Keefe

"Ripe and structured, this full-bodied red opens with alluring scents of star anise, dark-skinned berry, underbrush, leather and a balsamic note. On the juicy palate, menthol, licorice and baking spice accent a core of black cherry. Noble tannins provide the framework. Drink 2018–2023." —Kerin O'Keefe
