TASTING NOTES

Production

Giacomo Conterno's Barolo Riserva Monfortino represents one of the greatest expressions of Nebbiolo di Langa and is born exclusively in the years considered exceptional. The grapes come from the historic vineyards of Monforte d'Alba, grown in very low yields and with great attention to manual labor. The harvest takes place at full phenolic maturity. Fermentation is traditional, with long macerations on the husks in wooden vats, without exasperated temperature control, according to a strictly classical philosophy. The aging process 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, designed for the time.

Organoleptic Characteristics

On the nose it is deep, complex and constantly evolving, with notes of withered rose, purple, cherry under spirit and plum, followed by hints of licorice, tobacco, spices, goudron and earthy and balsamic nuances. The sip is monumental: austere, powerful and perfectly balanced, with thick, incisive tannins, a vibrant freshness and a very long persistence. A wine of extraordinary structure and finesse, capable of evolving for decades.

Occasion and Pairing

Wine for a great occasion and meditation, ideal for important moments and dedicated tastings. It pairs well with highly structured dishes such as braised meats, overcooked meats, important game, elaborate red meats, and highly aged cheeses. Also splendid tasted on its own, to capture every nuance.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its complexity, a service temperature of 18°C is recommended, with adequate oxygenation in decanters.

THE WINERY

Conterno

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.
