Orlando Abrigo - Barbaresco Vigna Montersino 2016

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

The Orlando Abrigo farm is now run by Giovanni, the descendant of a family of farmers who have always been dedicated to the cultivation of vineyards and custodians of winemaking practices. Today the company is managed entirely by Giovanni Abrigo and his collaborators. From the original 3 hectares of land belonging to the family, the company now has 21 hectares of vineyards owned.

Drawing its fruit from Treiso, the Orlando Abrigo 2016 Barbaresco Montersino is a real beauty. The wine pours from the bottle with a lively dark ruby color, and it delivers sharp and linear aromas of bright fruit, tilled earth and licorice. This classic vintage provides an authentic portrait of the Nebbiolo grape with some of the extra fullness and layering that we can expect of this vintage. I could imagine a happy pairing with any food that involves truffle oil or essence.

The 2016 Barbaresco Montersino is laced with the essence of black cherry, plum, lavender, rose petal, cinnamon and menthol. Dark and brooding in the glass, the 2016 is a Barbaresco of gravitas. I would give it a few more years in bottle. There is a lot of character here. (Drink between 2024-2036)
