Deep, multifaceted liquids that \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eliterally defy time\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e without showing any signs of yielding. A life lived for the vineyard that of Maga, inextricably intertwined with the figures of Gino Veronelli and Gianni Brera, great journalists as well as friends of Lino, since they were lovers of his wine to the point of supporting him in the legal battles undertaken to have the uniqueness of the Barbacarlo appellation, recognized, the name of his flagship wine as well as the vineyard from which the grapes come.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eMontebuono red comes entirely from the 4-hectare vineyard of the same name located near Broni. A blend of Croatina, Uva Rara and Ughetta, the Montebuono stands out for its integrity and longevity, despite absolutely\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e non-interventionist winemaking\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e. There are no chemical or synthetic products in the vineyard and strictly manual harvesting of the grapes. In the cellar, the same credo is continued, so fermentations that take place with indigenous yeasts at uncontrolled temperatures and long ageing in already used large wooden barrels. Only a little sulfur at the bottling for a liquid that is a genuine expression of a territory and a philosophy of thought.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eLino Maga's Montebuono has a ruby colour with violet highlights but can veer toward garnet depending on ageing. The nose immortalizes the Oltrepò Pavese with a photograph of poignant intensity: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eit is the grapes talking\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e, and the liquid tastes mostly of that, which is also not trivial according to the rider. But there are also earthy undertones as if to remark on the deep roots of the liquid, and then liquorice and cocoa. Depending on when the bottle is opened, the sip is impetuous and pulsating in youth while more relaxed and serene with a few years on the shoulders, but always three-dimensional and long, both on the taste level and in the memory of the drinker.
