A Barbaresco with a lot of personality, in which body and tannin structure are well balanced by floral scents of undergrowth, mint and eucalyptus.

Muncagota is rich, brooding and super-expressive every year, hitting all the right notes. Black cherry, plum, spice, leather and liquorice emerge, but all very hesitantly and with plenty of aeration, better: with further bottle ageing. Muncagota is one of the examples from the famous series of nine Riserve that clearly needs time. And you should give it time, and the patient will be richly rewarded. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota 2020 is quite powerful and rich, but not yet fully integrated. This vineyard is located in a warm growing area, and you can feel the warmth of the vintage in terms of the maturity of the bouquet and the softness of the tannins. This wine is characterised by a wide range of aromas such as blackberries, plums and spices. It needs another year or two to develop better." Wine Advocate

"The Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota 2020 is somewhat austere today, which is quite atypical. Floral notes, mint and white pepper give it a remarkable aromatic brilliance. The 2020 has a medium body and offers plenty of vigour. Floral, spicy and mineral notes extend the intense, savoury finish. I am curious to taste this wine again with more time in the bottle." Vinous

"Broad yet supple, with flavours of plums, black cherries and blackberries, this red wine is carried by a strong acidity. Accents of liquorice, earth and iron add depth as it tightens. Fine-grained tannins on a lingering finish with mineral notes." Wine Spectator
