Bringing in intriguing background notes of tar and hazelnut, the palate captures Montestefano's innate classiness with firm tannins confidently girdling supple fruit. There is no lack of refreshing acidity. Luigi Giordano's grandson Matteo Rocca, who now runs this estate with his wife and mother, says that harvest was slightly earlier than usual, on 30 September. To preserve freshness, he also reduced the time in wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e93pts.

His commitment to expressing the region's terroir through traditional, quality-focused winemaking helped establish Barbaresco's reputation. Today, the fifth-generation family estate owns vineyards in some of the region's most prestigious crus, including Asili, Montestefano and the monopole Cavanna cru.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow led by Luigi's grandson, Matteo Rocca, the estate farms over seven hectares of vineyards planted predominantly to Nebbiolo, alongside Dolcetto, Barbera, Freisa and Arneis. Guided by his grandfather's elegant, traditional approach, Matteo continues to produce wines defined by long skin maceration and ageing in large botti, creating refined, expressive wines that showcase the character of these exceptional vineyard sites.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Luigi Giordano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42472863596590,"sku":"LGBM01","price":132.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2457\/9173\/files\/20260701161840_853718-original.jpg?v=1782888615","url":"https:\/\/mercato.com.au\/products\/luigi-giordano-barbaresco-montestefano-2022","provider":"Mercato","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
