Cecilia Monte Barbaresco Serracapelli Dedicato Paolo 2013.
The grapes come from a small and particular parcel of old vineyards of the Serracapelli cru that Paolo Monte, Cecilia's father, always identified as the most distinctive of the entire vineyard. The harvest, naturally manual, takes place on average by 15 October. Fermentation and vinification follow at controlled temperature never exceeding 27/28°. Malolactic fermentation in steel is followed by permanence in wood and a subsequent long rest in the bottle to allow this wine, produced in very limited quantities, to optimally express all its articulated sensory range.
"The 2013 Barbaresco Serracapelli Dedicato a Paolo emerges from the estate's oldest vines, planted in 1956. Deep and sensual, with striking layers of nuance, the 2013 hits all the right notes. Readers will find a lifted, savory, intensely mineral Barbaresco built on persistence and energy. Tobacco, worn-in leather, spice, menthol and crushed rose petal add myriad shades of complexity. The 2013 can be enjoyed now, but it also has enough pedigree to drink well for another decade." - 95 points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous.
