The wine

Description and technical sheet

The Barolo Riserva DOCG Monfortino by Giacomo Conterno is a true masterpiece of Barolo, epitomizing excellence in Nebbiolo winemaking. From an exceptional vintage, this Barolo represents the pinnacle of tradition and quality. Monfortino is crafted from carefully selected grapes from the Monforte d'Alba cru, an area renowned for its ability to produce wines of great structure and complexity. The winemaking process follows traditional methods, with extended maceration and fermentation in wooden vats, followed by prolonged aging in large oak barrels, contributing to the wine’s extraordinary elegance and longevity.

Barolo Riserva DOCG Monfortino: Tasting Notes

The Barolo Riserva DOCG Monfortino displays an intense, deep garnet red color, with aging revealing hints of orange. On the nose, it offers a complex and captivating bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruits such as cherries and currants, integrated with hints of tobacco, leather, and noble spices. A touch of menthol and earthiness further enriches the aromatic profile. On the palate, Monfortino is powerful and structured, with robust yet finely-tuned tannins that provide a sensation of great fullness and depth. The finish is long and persistent, with sweetness of dried fruits and notes of dark chocolate and spices. This Barolo Riserva, with its extraordinary complexity and aging potential, is ideal for pairing with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses.
