Barbaresco Riserva 'Muncagota' Produttori del Barbaresco 2021

This Reserve "Muncagota" is a Barbaresco where intensity, thickness, and grace coexist, providing a moment of true pleasure. Thanks to the great work done by the winery Produttori del Barbaresco, a production reality where the quality-price ratio always reserves pleasant surprises in every label, and that loves to interpret the DOCG of Barbaresco with different expressions. This Reserve, in particular, embodies the magic of the Piedmontese Langhe, engaging the nose and palate with harmonious and balanced aromas and flavors. A great red for aging, to be savored until the last drop.

This Barbaresco Reserve "Muncagota" is made from pure Nebbiolo grapes, a great native variety of the Piedmont region. The grapes of this variety are cultivated within the cru that gives its name to the label, Muncagota, characterized by a clayey and calcareous soil, facing southeast. The grapes, once harvested and brought to the winemaking facilities of the winery Produttori del Barbaresco, ferment alcoholically in steel, macerating on the skins for 28 days, also undergoing malolactic fermentation. The aging process then continues,first for 36 months in oak barrels, and then, after bottling, for another 12 months in the bottle.

The “Muncagota” is a Barbaresco Riserva that, in the glass, presents itself with a very bright color, reminiscent of garnet. The bouquet of aromas enveloping the nose tells of layered notes, shifting from small red fruits and hints of violet to tertiary touches, where leather, tannin, and sweet spices alternate in a dance of intertwined nuances. On the palate, it is of excellent body, structured and austere, with a sip characterized by a pleasant freshness and a texture where the tannins flow velvety. A red signed by one of the reference wineries for this DOCG, the Produttori del Barbaresco, a cooperative that year after year confirms itself as a name of absolute guarantee in the Piedmontese wine scene.
