Barbaresco. Mid ruby with orange tinges. Balsamic cherry nose with hints of mint and gingerbread. Soft and ripe fruit balanced by acidity and soft, long tannins. Sour-cherry finish. Not showing huge depth but, overall, certainly satisfying. (WS)

The 2017 Barbaresco Montestefano opens with scents of cherry, lavender and rose petal. It offers lovely depth in the mid-weight style that is typical of many wines in this vintage, along with a slightly candied profile and a bit of reduction, just as in the straight Barbaresco.
