Barolo Riserva Monfortino 2015, Giacomo Conterno
Voluminous, rich, and deeply balsamic profile. On the nose, ripe red fruits, licorice, tobacco, and hints of menthol emerge. On the palate, it is powerful and enveloping, characterized by sculpted and smooth tannins and an endlessly noble persistence.
Barolo Riserva Monfortino 2015, Giacomo Conterno
The Barolo Riserva Monfortino 2015 by Giacomo Conterno is a monument to sculptural nobility, a vintage in which the structural power of Serralunga d'Alba meets extraordinary material richness. In this edition, Roberto Conterno masterfully managed the warmth of the vintage, elevating the fruit's density to an absolute nobility. On the nose, it is an ecstasy of opulent, layered complexity: notes of ripe marasca cherry, plum, and dark chocolate merge with deep hints of licorice, sweet tobacco, menthol, and a trace of black truffle of extraordinary nobility. On the palate, it is masterful: the entrance is broad, almost tactile, supported by a noble acidic backbone that keeps the sip dynamic and by sculptural tannins, extremely dense and already incredibly velvety, finishing on an endless, savory note of absolute nobility.
