Note di degustazione
I tasted this unicorn wine in a restaurant, and although my bottle was initially closed, I had the opportunity to taste it over a longer period over dinner. The Rivella Serafino di Rivella Teobaldo 2018 Barbaresco Montestefano starts off shy but opens gradually to sweet cassis and dried blueberry that blurs lines with tea leaf and lilac. The tannins are fine, with a hint of chalkiness, but they feel accurate, considering my bottle had a bit of age on it.

The 2018 Barbaresco Montestefano shows the lighter style of the year. Sweet perfumed and nuanced, the 2018 is an attractive, easygoing wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Dried cherry, mint, cedar and tobacco. All of the house signatures are present, but in a decidedly smaller scaled style. In exchange, the 2018 will drink nicely right out of the gate. I would not push my luck on aging.
