"The 2005 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano is another highlight in this range. Once again, balance is the key. The 2005 is not a profound wine, but all the elements fall into place as this big, broad-shouldered Barbaresco shows off its irrepressible and unique personality. Sweet dark cherry, plum, new leather, tobacco, spice and menthol build to the rich, layered finish."
Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media, Drink 2018-2030, June 2016
"The 2005 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano reveals a seamless core of sweet roses, ripe, juicy raspberries and spices, all of which come together in a round, sensual expression of Nebbiolo. In 2005 the Montestefano possesses terrific freshness, detail and vibrancy. Licorice, leather and anise linger on the sublime finish. The Montestefano is one of the highlights among these Riservas. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030."
