Treiso, Barbaresco, Piedmont
Orlando Abrigo
Since 1949
The Abrigo family has grown grapes at Treiso, a few kilometres from Alba, since 1949, bottling their first Barbaresco in the early 1970s. Giovanni Abrigo modernised the cellar and now leads the estate across some twenty-one hectares. Their best vineyards, Meruzzano and Montersino, sit among the highest and coolest sites in the Barbaresco zone, steep and south-facing on limestone-rich soil, each picked by hand and vinified separately. The wines are perfumed, finely structured Nebbiolo with the elevation lending freshness and lift. A classic, family-run Barbaresco address making wines of charm and pedigree.

2020 Montersino Barbaresco DOCG
Indent price: $108.00 per bottle
The Abrigo family has grown Nebbiolo at Treiso since 1949, on some of the highest, coolest sites in Barbaresco. Montersino is one of their crus, south-facing on limestone-rich soil, hand-picked and aged around fifteen months in barrel. The 2020 vintage favoured Barbaresco with a drier harvest, and it shows: perfumed rose and red cherry, fine silky tannins and an approachable charm that still has the frame to age. A small-production, classic Barbaresco.

“A little more advanced and immediate in character, the Orlando Abrigo 2020 Barbaresco Montersino is an open-knit expression of Nebbiolo that ages in barrique for 15 months. The vineyards are planted in loose, sandy limestone soils. The fruit is on the dry side, leaning toward cassis and desiccated cherry. This is an 8,500-bottle release.”

“This vineyard comes from a sweet spot in Barbaresco that's showing its stuff the moment the cork is pulled. Fresh raspberries and wild strawberries lead the way, with hints of cedar and dried flowers adding complexity. The tannins are polished just right, present but never pushy. It's drinking beautifully now but will reward a few years in the cellar. Drink Now - 2035”
