A youthful ripe red color, the bright and lifted 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota is fantastic on the nose, with notes of bright pomegranate and orange zest. It also has fantastic energy and vibrancy on the palate, with a vertical and nervous feel, balanced ripeness, finely coiled tannins, and a long finish. Drink 2024-2036.
