Montestefano is a 3.9-hectare slope of calcareous limestone facing south and south-east. The co-op credits the heat of that slope with giving the wine its full body and almost meaty texture, and it's usually the last vineyard in Barbaresco to be picked. Produttori describes 2017 as a medium-bodied year with intense mineral and spicy aromas and ripe, balanced tannins. So this is the house powerhouse in an elegant mood, with more poise than brawn. The fruit came from vines owned by six member families (Gonella, Maffei, Marcarino, Rivella, Rocca and Vacca). The wine then spent at least 30 months in large 25-50 hl oak barrels, the unhurried, old-school way. These single-vineyard Riservas remain among the best values for cellar-worthy wine in the world, and Produttori gives this one 20 years from the vintage. The magnum, the format collectors prize for slower, more graceful aging, gives you room to take your time and makes a centerpiece for the table.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50525011214393,"sku":"NYC-[CNSN]-TTSUMMER0826-092226-282-32","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Produttori-del-Barbaresco-Barbaresco-Riserva-Montestefano-2017-1_5L-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1790154996","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/produttori-del-barbaresco-barbaresco-riserva-montestefano-2017-1-5l","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
