Barolo Riserva Monfortino is a still red wine from the Piedmontese lands, and in particular from Monforte d'Alba. The winery that produces it, Giacomo Conterno, boasts a centuries-old history; its foundation dates back to 1908 when the Conterno family, repatriated to Italy from Argentina, opened a tavern that produced wine. It is produced only in exceptional vintages.
Alcoholic fermentation in 61 hl oak barrels with long maceration on the skins; malolactic fermentation in Austrian oak barrels of different sizes
7 years in a Slavonian barrel
It presents a ruby red color with garnet reflections. On the nose it reveals a multifaceted and deep bouquet characterized by sharp notes of cherry, raspberry, blood orange, dried rose petals, lavender and a pronounced balsamic and mineral character. On the palate it is firm with vibrant acidity and tannins of incredible finesse and softness that support an endless taste progression.
