2022 Barbaresco Montefico Bric Mentina

The 2022 Barbaresco Montefico Vigna Bric Mentina is bright and focused, with fine balance, especially for the year. Sage, mint, chalk, white pepper and orange peel give the Montefico its characteristic upper register. Vineyard signatures are very much present, even if somewhat attenuated in this vintage. This small-scale Montefico is a delight, but probably best suited for medium-term drinking.
