Description and technical sheet
Monfortino 2020 is one of Giacomo Conterno's most anticipated releases: a Barolo Riserva DOCG made from 100% Nebbiolo, selected from the Francia and Arione vineyards. In this vintage the majority of the fruit comes from Francia, with a 15% component from Arione, continuing the estate's integration of this second cru into Monfortino.
Seven years of tradition
The method remains the one that has defined Monfortino over time: fermentation and extended maceration in wooden vats without temperature control, followed by a minimum of around seven years in large casks. It is an uncompromisingly traditional approach designed to give Nebbiolo depth, stability and long-term development.
The 2020 vintage
The 2020 shows a more open and seductive profile than the firmer, more austere 2019. Red fruit, blood orange, rose, lavender, sage and mint emerge over polished tannins, bright acidity and a long savoury finish. James Suckling awarded the 2020 99/100, while Vinous rated it 98/100.
A collector's bottle
Monfortino is produced only in vintages deemed worthy and sits among the most collectible expressions of Barolo. The 2020 release is scheduled for autumn 2026, making this a bottle equally suited to long-term cellaring and important occasions. Serve at around 16-18 °C with braised meats, game, red meats and mature cheeses.
