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.

Cantina Contini has grown and matured like the wines and successes that have made it great, through the passion and commitment of no less than four generations. Almost 120 years old, the company is located in the Tirso Valley and on the slopes of Mount Arci with about 100 hectares of property. Represented by Vernaccia di Oristano, it has been joined over the years by other important productions such as: the historic Nieddera variety, Vermentino and Cannonau, Karmis, Attilio and the organic Mamaioa. Today, the company continues to evolve through the use of new vinification techniques, identifying the wines as memories and moments of nostalgia. Since around 2010, the Contini company has converted in part to organic farming, with the desire to listen to the needs of consumers who are increasingly attentive to the quality and authenticity of the products. The grapes are cultivated according to the dictates of uncontaminated agriculture, with a very low level of sulphites and the use of natural substances in the vineyards and in the various vinification processes. Name and address of producer/distributor: Azienda Vinicola Contini s.p.a., Via Genova n.48-50, 09072 Cabras, Oristano. Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
