Orlando Abrigo's Barbaresco "Montersino" stands out as an excellent red wine, produced with the Nebbiolo subvariety "Lampia" grown on the fascinating hills of Treiso. After a one-year aging period in wooden barrels, it shows itself to the observer with a magnificent ruby ​​red hue.

On the nose, delicate notes of berries readily emerge, followed by hints of hazelnut and mint, all on a spicy aromatic background. On the palate, the wine initially manifests itself with a lightness which, as the seconds pass, reveals the consistency of its tannins. This wine can be enjoyed immediately, perhaps accompanying dishes based on red meat, game or traditional Piedmontese dishes seasoned with truffles. However, it is also possible to let it age in the cellar for a few years, allowing it to fully express its potential.
