Extremely elegant and fine, the Roagna 2016 Barbaresco Montefico Vecchie Viti is another protagonist of this estate's old-vine series. These are some of the top expressions of Nebbiolo you will find on the market today, and these late releases have the added benefit of being from the iconic 2016 vintage that produced beautifully age-worthy wines across the board. The Montefico has ample power and structure that comes up from behind, slowly. It also shows pinpoint aromas of dark fruit, licorice and pressed violet that extend the wine's long finish. 97/100 (08.2022) - robertparker.com
