{"product_id":"barbaresco-montefico-produttori-del-barbaresco-1999","title":"Montefico Barbaresco Riserva 1999","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1999 Montefico Barbaresco Riserva is a classic red wine crafted by Produttori del Barbaresco, one of the world's most respected wine cooperatives. The 1999 vintage achieved a score of 92 points and is described as an elegant year for the region. The modern iteration of the cooperative was founded in 1958 by local winegrowers, though its deeper history traces back to 1894 when Domizio Cavazza, the director of the local enological school, established the area's first cooperative. Today, it unites 51 members who collectively own 110 hectares, exclusively planted with Nebbiolo within the Barbaresco zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the Barbaresco appellation within the prestigious Piedmont region in northwestern Italy. Piedmont, literally meaning \"at the foot of the mountain,\" is framed by the Alps and is renowned for its dramatic, steep hills in the Langhe subregion. These hills are often blanketed in thick autumn morning fog, which protects the grapes and ensures a long, perfect ripening period. The wine is made entirely from Nebbiolo, an Italian top grape known for producing wines with great structure, predominantly cultivated in Barolo, Barbaresco, and the wider Piedmont area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduttori del Barbaresco is particularly celebrated for its release of nine single-vineyard crus, which together illustrate the terroir mosaic of the appellation. This specific release comes from the Montefico vineyard, tended by the vineyard owners Grasso, Rocca, and Vacca. According to the estate's traditional production method, only in the best vintages is a portion of the wine from these central historic localities selected to become a \"Riserva,\" a status achieved after reaching its fourth year of aging at the winery. The 1999 Montefico Riserva was produced in a limited run of 5,870 bottles, carrying the Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita classification.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Produttori del Barbaresco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57447552188742,"sku":null,"price":345.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1396_de3b0b4a-9a19-40a3-b6ef-f29bde84d760.jpg?v=1790243584","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.nl\/en\/products\/barbaresco-montefico-produttori-del-barbaresco-1999","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
