TASTING NOTES

Production

Giacomo Conterno’s Barolo Riserva Monfortino represents one of the finest expressions of Nebbiolo from the Langhe and is produced exclusively in vintages deemed exceptional. The grapes come from the historic vineyards of Monforte d’Alba, cultivated with very low yields and great attention to manual labour. Harvesting takes place at full phenolic ripeness. Fermentation is traditional, with long maceration on the skins in wooden vats, without excessive temperature control, following a strictly classical philosophy. Ageing is extremely long and takes place exclusively in large oak barrels for several years, allowing the wine to evolve slowly and achieve extraordinary complexity and longevity. Monfortino is an uncompromising Barolo, made to stand the test of time.

Organoleptic Characteristics

On the nose, it is deep, complex and constantly evolving, with notes of wilted rose, violet, cherries in alcohol and plum, followed by hints of liquorice, tobacco, spices, tar and earthy and balsamic nuances. The palate is monumental: austere, powerful and perfectly balanced, with dense, incisive tannins, vibrant freshness and an exceptionally long finish. A wine of extraordinary structure and finesse, capable of evolving for decades.

Occasion and Pairing

A wine for special occasions and meditation, ideal for important moments and dedicated tastings. It pairs well with full-bodied dishes such as braised meats, stews, game, elaborate red meats and very mature cheeses. It is also splendid when tasted on its own, to appreciate every nuance.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.

In the municipality of Monforte d'Alba, in the Piedmont countryside, lies the Conterno Winery. Here, the family of the same name that founded the winery is committed to producing and bottling its Barolo in search of the best balance and perfect quality. The winery's constant work has allowed it to evolve into the great establishment it is today, where the oldest traditions are still carefully followed, alongside the most modern and avant-garde techniques, to offer high-quality Piedmontese wines and unmistakably stylish red wines from Piedmont. Since it was founded, the fame of Conterno wines has spread throughout the area, giving the winery a meteoric rise. The success, however, has not affected the stable foundations of the family, which still works together in its production chain today. Their strengths remain the same: care for tradition, a search for expression of the terroir and a deep respect for what Piedmontese nature has to offer. Name and address of producer/distributor: Conterno - Via Ginestra, 1, 12065 Monforte d'Alba (CN). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
