Barbaresco Montestefano La Ca Nova 2016 (750ML)

93-96 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "Another super-promising, embryonic wine, the 2016 Barbaresco Montestefano is powerful, dark and explosive in the glass. A wine of both tremendous density and detail, the 2016 has a lot to offer. Sage, mint, lavender and plum develop in the glass, but it is the wine's resonance and overall richness that leave a lasting impression." 10/18

97 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast: (Editor's Choice) "Forest floor, red berry, leather and pipe tobacco aromas are front and center. The intense, full-bodied palate offers impressive structure and finesse, delivering succulent Marasca cherry, cinnamon, star anise and a hint of hazelnut alongside assertive but noble tannins and vibrant acidity. It already shows focus and depth, but give it time to fully bloom. Drink 2026-2038." 9/19.
