Icardi Barbaresco Montubert 2022

Icardi Barbaresco Montubert 2022 is a beautifully refined expression of Nebbiolo from one of Piedmont’s most admired appellations. Sourced from the Montubert site, it combines the elegance and structure that make Barbaresco such a benchmark wine, with the freshness of a youthful vintage and the potential to evolve gracefully over time. Barbaresco has long held an important place in Italian fine wine history, known for delivering complexity and finesse in a more approachable style than its powerful neighbor, Barolo.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Barbaresco typically shows a bright ruby hue with garnet reflections, signalling both freshness and depth. The nose is lifted and nuanced, with classic Nebbiolo aromas of rose petals, red cherries, dried herbs, and subtle spice, often followed by earthy tones, forest floor, and a fine mineral edge. On the palate, expect a firm but polished structure, lively acidity, and finely knit tannins that frame flavors of sour cherry, raspberry, licorice, and tea leaf. The finish is long and persistent, with a graceful, savory character. While enjoyable in its youth with proper aeration, this wine has the structure to age well for several years, developing more complex tertiary notes of truffle, leather, and dried flowers.

Production
Montubert is a prized hillside site in Piedmont, where Barbaresco’s marl-rich soils and favorable exposure help Nebbiolo ripen with precision and aromatic lift. The vineyards are typically harvested by hand to preserve fruit integrity and ensure selection of the best bunches. Vinification is carried out with a focus on expressing the character of the site, with careful fermentation and maturation designed to balance fragrance, structure, and elegance.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with rich Piedmontese dishes such as mushroom risotto, tajarin with truffles, braised veal, roasted game, and aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C to show its aromatic detail and structure at its best. Decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended, especially if drinking young, to allow the wine to open and soften.
