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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntonio Galloni, Vinous, October 2020 - 98P:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGeneral information:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduttori del Barbaresco stands as one of the most distinguished wine cooperatives in Italy's Barbaresco region. The winery's history dates back to 1894 when Domizio Cavazza established the first cooperative, Cantine Sociali, bringing together nine vineyard owners to make wine in his castle. This initial venture was forced to close in the 1920s due to fascist economic policies.\u003cspan class=\"mt-md block\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eIn 1958, the local parish priest revived the cooperative spirit by gathering nineteen small growers to found what would become today's Produttori del Barbaresco.
