Cecilia Monte
Cecilia Monte is a remarkable winemaker for many reasons. Not only is she one of the fastest-rising stars in Barbaresco, representing the best that boutique wine in the region can be. She enjoys a naturally envious position in the south of the Barbaresco district at 300 metres elevation and has at her disposal the entirety of the Serracapelli ‘cru’ which she has made into a byword for the spicy, pungent and dynamically complex potential of the best terroir in the region. Cecilia is also uncompromising when it comes to releasing her wines. They hit the market a full two years after everyone else, when she feels that they are ready to be put on display to the world. In a Piemontese landscape dominated by men from old families and increasingly money from big name brands and international investors she is both an original and a bastion of classicism.

Vinous (94)Cecilia Monte's 2014 Barbaresco Serracapelli is a wine of pure and total refinement. Lifted and gracious on the palate, the 2014 is wonderfully energetic from start to finish. Beams of supporting acidity and tannin give the wine a nervous, edgy feel that will soften with bottle age. Orange peel, exotic spice, tobacco, cedar and amaro herbs add an intriguing upper register of aromatics to this mid-weight, classically proportioned Barbaresco. Cecilia Monte's Barbaresco Serracapelli is one of the dark horses of the vintage. |

Vinous (92)The 2016 Barbaresco Serracapelli is soft, super-expressive and so inviting. Wild cherry, tobacco, cedar, mint and dried flowers show off the darker side of Nebbiolo. There is a bit of nerve to this classically built Barbaresco, so some aeration is a good idea. |

Vinous (94)The 2015 Barbaresco Serracapelli Dedicato a Paolo is a very pretty, high-toned wine. Blood orange, rose petal, mint, anise, pine and cinnamon all grace this ethereal, mid-weight Barbaresco. The 2015 is deceptive and gracious, but it has a good bit of energy and Nebbiolo grip backing it all up. This quirky Barbaresco is a total delight. |
