What to Expect

Nebbiolo is a fickle grape famed as much for its pale appearance as for its tannic character and produces some of the most perfumed and richly flavored wines. Though generally only medium-bodied, the wines possess rose and anise scented aromatics and deep flavors of cherry, orange peel and subtle green herb tones.

Winemakers Notes

Dark ruby red in color. Subtle and reserved on the nose, with blackberry, tea, sandalwood and blueberry. Opens to coffee and vanilla bean. Full-bodied, with an amazing, condensed palate of ultra-ripe fruit and silky tannins. Fresh and superlong. Very tight and fresh. Needs so much time to open and come around. Like a genie in the bottle.

Berry Bros & Rudd review: Low yields, a long fermentation time of 4-5 weeks with no temperature controland seven years of cask aging remain the rule for Monfortino. The string ofMonfortinos spanning 1996 to 2001 (and possibly 2002) must surely be a record.I can't think of another estate in the world that has produced sixconsecutive vintages of this profound quality. The 2000 Monfortino ranksslightly behind the 1999 and 2001, but that may be splitting hairs at this veryhigh level. It is another stellar effort from Giacomo Conterno.

"Conternos 2000 Barolo Riserva Monfortino explodes from the glass with a luxurious, expansive personality that leaves me speachless. Endowed with generous ripe fruit, it is a seamless, seductive Monfortino that possesses incredible length as well as purity in a style that perfectly encapsulates the qualities of the vintage. With air, suggestions of roses, cocoa, tar and anise emerge to complete this magnificent expression of Barolo from Serralunga. Despite its seemingly approachable personality this wine has plenty of underlying structure. I suggest tasting the wine as soon read more...
