Barolo Riserva Monfortino

Giacomo Conterno · Piedmont · Italy

Barolo Riserva Monfortino is an red wine from Italy, in the Piedmont region (Northwest Italy, in the foothills of the Alps around the towns of Alba, Asti and Barolo.), made principally from Nebbiolo. The traditionalist Barolo par excellence — long-lifted, deeply tannic Nebbiolo from Serralunga d'Alba.

In character, this premium tier delivers the classic nebbiolo profile — rose, violet, tar, liquorice — with the structural stamp of Piedmont and a high-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
