Carlo Giacosa Barbaresco 'Montefico' 2016 Review

A whisper of oranges weaves through rustic cherry vibes. The aromas are in control. They tell you what to enjoy, layer by layer, as the wine blossoms in the glass. This wine is elegance sitting in the seat of power, not letting the intense characteristics overwhelm you. So much balance. So much satisfaction.
