Poised between power and grace, Giacomo Conterno’s 2008 Monfortino Barolo Riserva layers dried rose, orange peel, tobacco and earthy spice over deep yet subtle red fruit, all wrapped in an almost velvety frame. The exceptionally long, cool growing season gives it remarkable freshness and precision, with tannins that feel refined and seamless despite the wine’s depth and intensity. A profound, ageworthy Monfortino that is already extraordinarily harmonious in the glass.

Monfortino Barolo Riserva is Giacomo Conterno’s legendary, traditionally made Nebbiolo, sourced from the steep limestone-marl slopes of Serralunga d’Alba (principally Vigna Francia and, in recent years, also Arione) and produced only in top vintages. Fermented in large wooden vats with long macerations and then aged around seven years in large Slavonian casks, it is renowned for its immense structure, profound complexity, and extraordinary longevity, standing as a benchmark for classic, ageworthy Barolo.
