Barolo Riserva Monfortino 2008, Giacomo Conterno
Vertical profile, vibrant and extremely pure. On the nose, small red fruits, dark citrus, balsamic and mineral notes emerge. On the palate, it is tense and deep, characterized by sculptural tannins and a noble freshness that lifts the sip towards a savory finish of rare nobility.
Barolo Riserva Monfortino 2008, Giacomo Conterno
The Barolo Riserva Monfortino 2008 by Giacomo Conterno is a monument to the sculptural nobility of a 'cool' and classic vintage, capable of expressing masterful tension. This wine represents a legendary interpretation that elevates the verticality of Serralunga to absolute nobility. On the nose, it is an ecstasy of ethereal and sharp complexity: notes of wild raspberry, chinotto peel, and red rose petals merge with deep hints of camphor, white pepper, cocoa powder, and an extraordinarily noble iron-like minerality. On the palate, it is masterful: the entry is direct and sharp, supported by a noble acidic backbone and a sculptural tannin, incredibly fine yet steel-like, ensuring an aristocratic progression, ending in an infinite, savory finish of absolute nobility.
