Barolo Riserva Monfortino 2015

The Monfortino Riserva comes from a selection of the best Nebbiolo grapes located in the Francia vineyard, the same from which Barolo and Barbera Cascina Francia, other historical Conterno wines, derive. After a meticulous selection of the bunches, the first fermentation takes place in oak vats of 61 hectoliters, with long macerations even with submerged cap, as per tradition. Subsequently the liquid is moved to large wooden barrels, mainly of Austrian origin, where after malolactic fermentation, it refines for about six years before bottling.

The Barolo Monfortino Riserva is presented in the glass with a bright and iridescent garnet red color. The nose is a poignant portrait of the Langa, which is revealed gradually and in a whispered manner. Dog rose, violet, cherry: there is everything in this hymn to classicism, although speaking of descriptors is almost an understatement given the harmony and cohesion of the perfumes. The taste is experiential, a real cyclone that conquers the palate, filling it with grace and power at the same time. The displacement of the liquid allows it to go very far, fading into an eternal persistence. To drink, at least once in a lifetime.
