Muncagota (the cru long known as Moccagatta) is prized for combining intensity with elegance, a more aromatic, balanced expression among Produttori del Barbaresco's single vineyards. The 2011 came from a warm, ripe vintage, which rounds out the wine and brings its tannins forward into a softer, more approachable phase. It's drinking nicely now with a decant. Produttori only bottles these crus as Riserva in the years that merit it. A good place to taste how a balanced site behaves when the vintage runs generous.

Antonio Galloni

90 points

"Soft, caressing and voluptuous, the 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota is the sweetest and most open of these 2011 Riservas. Hard candy, wild flowers, mint and sweet spices meld together in a sensual, inviting Barbaresco that will drink nicely pretty much upon release. The 2011 strikes an attractive middle ground of raciness, texture and structure. As such, it will be one of the best early drinkers in this range. This is a gorgeous Muncagota." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

92 points

"The 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota is reflective of the warm vintage. This is a solid and slightly rigid expression that shows hints of cherry marmalade, rum cake and prune. Those heavy aromas lift to reveal a wine with dark red cherry and mild spice at its core. Subtle background tones of balsam herb and rosemary oil add extra dimension. In the mouth, the wine delivers a point of sharpness or tartness. Overall, this wine is not as open as the others in this beautiful series of Riserva wines." —Monica Larner

Wine Spectator

95 points

"This is all about finesse, elegance and silky texture. Cherry, eucalyptus, licorice and spice flavors permeate the vibrant frame. The balance suggests you could enjoy this now, but there is a firm underlying structure. The terrific finish echoes the fruit and ups the ante with a chalky, minerally vein."

Kerin O'Keefe

"Aromas of violet, forest floor, ripe berry and a whiff of new leather emerge on this structured red. The ripe, full-bodied palate delivers mouthfuls of juicy black cherry, crushed raspberry, licorice, menthol and white pepper set against a backbone of assertive but velvety-textured tannins. Drink through 2018– 2026." —Kerin O'Keefe
