Barolo, Monfortino Riserva
Barolo is the Italian wine of kings. But amongst true collectors and connoissieurs there is but one true king of Barolo: the Monfortino Riserva from Giacomo Conterno. The Monfortino is prized for its combination of grace, explosive power, and longevity. This available vertical highlights key vintages of the past 4 decades.
"The 1971 Barolo Monfortino flirts with perfection. Although not yet fully mature, it is hard to resist because of its blazingly intense nose of truffles, smoked herbs, earth, dried fruits, and spice. Massively constituted, with huge body, high tannin, extraordinary symmetry and purity, and mouth-staining extract levels, this is one of the greatest Barolo Monfortinos Conterno has ever produced." (Robert Parker, 2/02)
"The 1999 Barolo Riserva Monfortino takes things to another level, hard as that may be to believe. It is deeply expressive in its aromatics, with breathtaking nuances of roses, menthol, spices and licorice that emerge from the glass, melding seamlessly onto the palate where complex layers of dark ripe fruit captivate the taster in an endless counterpoint of aromas, flavors and sensations that are hard to fully capture with mere words." (Antonio Galloni for the Wine Advocate, 10/06)
