The 2016 Barbaresco Montaribaldi is generous and ample in the glass. Spice, leather, smoke, licorice and dried flowers are some of the many notes that develop in this gorgeous, enveloping Barbaresco. At this stage, the Montaribaldi is the most reticent of the Nada Barbarescos, but its pedigree and potential are both evident. Black cherry, tobacco, spice, leather and scorched earth, along with broad swaths of tannin, add gravitas to this powerful, virile Barbaresco.
