The Story
A classic Barolo showcasing aromas of red cherry, dried rose petals, blood orange, licorice, and subtle earthy spice. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is structured and refined with vibrant acidity, layered red fruit, and polished tannins. Elegant mineral notes and savory complexity add depth, leading to a long, persistent finish that reflects the character of Monforte d'Alba.
Food Pairing: Braised beef, lamb shanks, truffle pasta, mushroom risotto, and aged cheeses.
93 Points - James Suckling
Intriguing nose of dried red cherries, together with savory notes of river stones, mild spices and dried mushrooms. Medium-to full-bodied and fine-tannined with plenty of flavor and a lightly firm finish. Candied-cherry aftertaste. Try from 2023.
90 Points - Decanter
Well-integrated oak and polished tannins surround the core of red plum fruits which finish with a touch of potting soil.
