Giacomo Conterno, Barolo Monfortino Riserva, Italy, 2019
Monfortino is arguably Italy's most iconic wine, produced only in exceptional vintages from the finest parcels of the Francia vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba. It is the ultimate expression of traditional Barolo, designed for decades of cellaring and revered for its monumental scale and complexity.
Following an extraordinarily long maceration, the wine rests for years in large Slavonian oak botti before release, allowing its massive structure to harmonize. It is a wine of profound depth and brooding intensity, offering layers of black cherry, white truffle, tobacco, and crushed stone, framed by heroic tannins.
Varietal: Nebbiolo
Appellation: Barolo, Piedmont, Italy
Farming: Traditional, Sustainable
Style: Red. Dry, profound and age-worthy
