Description
What kind of wine it is
The Montebuono by Barbacarlo is a still red wine with a bold character, created from a blend of Croatina, Ughetta and Uva Rara. To the eye, it displays a ruby red colour, enhanced by lively violet highlights. The bouquet offers intense notes of liquorice and cocoa, which precede a solid and structured taste. On the palate, it is long and persistent, providing a well-defined continuity of flavour throughout the tasting experience.
Where it comes from
This oenological expression comes to life on the hills of the Oltrepò Pavese, in the Broni area of Lombardy. Recognised under the Provincia di Pavia denomination, the wine faithfully reflects a region with a strong winemaking tradition. The dedication of the Barbacarlo winery enhances the unique features of these hills, delivering a clear and distinctive territorial identity. The deep connection with the area is evident through authentic viticulture, capable of translating the characteristics of the Lombard soil into a profile of great depth.
How it is produced
The production of Montebuono involves careful maturation in barrels for 6 months, a crucial step to harmonise the varietal components and provide stability to the wine's structure. To fully appreciate its complexity, it is recommended to decant for about an hour and serve at a temperature between 18 and 20°C. At the table, its long persistence and broad palate make it an ideal pairing for traditional cured meats and flavourful first courses such as pasta with ragù. Its balanced taste also pairs perfectly with red meats, pork-based dishes and mature cheeses.
