As Monica Larner put so succinctly, "Produttori del Barbaresco is one of Italy's ultimate values for your money." We have been screaming this from our Napa rooftops for years and the word is officially now out. The 2015 Muncagota is a deep and brooding wine with a ton of character. It's packed with red berries and black cherry, licorice and caramelized fennel. It's large scaled and quite tannic so give this a few years to mellow a bit more or decant for a few hours before serving if you can't wait like us.

Reviews

Wine Enthusiast
Rose, red berry and star anise aromas align with earthy whiffs of forest floor and new leather. The full-bodied, delicious palate doles out succulent Morello cherry, black raspberry, licorice and chopped mint set against a backbone of firm but refined tannins. It's already gorgeous but will be even better with just a few more years of bottle age. Drink 2022-2030.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Produttori del Barbaresco 2015 Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota shows beautifully in this sunny and warm vintage, producing intense and compelling primary fruit with wild cherry, plum and black currant. Compared to the other Riservas, the fruit profile of Muncagota is darker and richer. More significant is the role the tannins play in this wine. They contribute to a long and firm spinal cord that gives structure and muscle mass. This Barbaresco Riserva shows an affinity to shaved truffles over egg pasta, or gamey fowl such as duck or pigeon. Some 16,666 bottles were made.
