Barolo Riserva Monfortino 2013, Giacomo Conterno
Vertical profile, tense and of extraordinary finesse. On the nose, dark citrus, dried flowers, graphite, and balsamic notes emerge. On the palate, it is vibrant and sculptural, characterized by very fine tannins and a noble freshness that lifts the sip towards a savory finish of rare nobility; monumental longevity.
Barolo Riserva Monfortino 2013, Giacomo Conterno
The 2013 Barolo Riserva Monfortino by Giacomo Conterno is a monument to sculptural nobility, an expression of a classic, fresh, and late vintage that allowed for a masterful maturation. In this wine, the proverbial power of Serralunga merges with an ethereal grace, elevating the sip to absolute nobility. On the nose, it is an ecstasy of aristocratic complexity: notes of small red fruits, blood orange, and violet blend with deep hints of graphite, menthol, licorice, and a mineral trace of extraordinary nobility. On the palate, it is masterful: the entry is tense and profound, supported by a noble acidic backbone and sculptural tannins, extremely dense and millimetrically precise, ending in an infinite, savory finish of absolute nobility.
