Giacomo Conterno Barolo Monfortino Riserva 2019
Giacomo Conterno's legendary Barolo Monfortino: a monumental wine, a pure expression of the French cru and Piedmontese excellence.
Giacomo Conterno represents the pinnacle of the Barolo tradition. The 2019 Monfortino Riserva is made exclusively in the finest vintages, from Nebbiolo grapes harvested from the historic Francia vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba, in the heart of the Langhe.
The 2019 vintage is an extraordinary one, offering a wine of power and depth, with a perfect balance of structure, aromatic complexity, and finesse. After a long spontaneous fermentation, the wine ages for over six years in large oak barrels, acquiring a unique and enduring character.
