Barbaresco Montefico Vecchie Viti DOCG 2020 - Roagna

A Barbaresco DOCG red wine from Roagna, made from Nebbiolo from the historic Montefico vineyard, owned by the family since 1929. The 0.24-hectare parcel has vines over 50 years old, with manual harvest and double berry selection. Fermentation takes place in wooden vats with indigenous yeasts, followed by a very long submerged-cap maceration of 70 to 90 days and ageing in botte for five years. The 2020 vintage is ruby red with garnet reflections, with cherry, plum and sweet spice on the nose and powerful, muscular tannins on the palate. It suits braised red meats, game and richly flavoured meat dishes.
