Conterno Giacomo – Barolo DOCG Riserva Monfortino 2020 75cl
The legendary Monfortino Barolo from Giacomo Conterno: a monumental wine, a pure expression of the Francia cru and Piedmontese excellence.
Giacomo Conterno represents the absolute pinnacle of Barolo tradition. The Monfortino Riserva 2020 is produced exclusively in the best vintages, using Nebbiolo grapes sourced from the historic Francia vineyard in Serralunga d’Alba, in the heart of the Langhe.
The 2020 vintage captures the distinctive character of this great wine, with a combination of structure, aromatic complexity, and finesse. Traditional winemaking, characterized by a long spontaneous fermentation and extended maceration, is followed by several years of aging in large oak casks, which helps develop depth, balance, and extraordinary longevity.
The result is a Barolo Riserva of great personality, capable of combining power and precision, with a significant structure supported by freshness and refined tannins. A prestigious wine, destined to evolve for many years in the bottle and progressively express the full complexity of Serralunga d’Alba Nebbiolo.
