Icardi’s 2007 Barbaresco Montubert is an incredibly soft, appealing Barbaresco. Crushed flowers, berries, licorice, French oak and tar are some of the nuances that are woven into a textured fabric of notable class. Deceptively medium in body, the Montubert possesses notable depth and persistence, not to mention terrific overall balance. Another year or two in bottle should allow the oak to integrate even more fully. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022. Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel. (631) 467-5907
