Giacomo Conterno Barolo Riserva Monfortino Magnum 2020

Giacomo Conterno’s Barolo Riserva Monfortino is an iconic, age-worthy expression of Nebbiolo, presented here in a magnum format that is especially well suited to long-term cellaring. First created in 1908, Monfortino is made only in exceptional vintages and is prized for its commanding structure, mineral character and remarkable capacity to evolve.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows ruby-red colour with garnet hues. Its layered nose brings together blackberry and cherry in liqueur with earthy notes of mushroom, truffle, leather and liquorice.

Production
From the hills around Monforte d’Alba in Piemonte, Monfortino is made from carefully selected Nebbiolo parcels, vinified separately to preserve each site’s character. The must undergoes an extended maceration of around five weeks without temperature control, with fermentation in Austrian wooden vats. The wine then matures for at least seven years in large Slavonian oak casks. Specific harvesting methods for this bottling are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve at 18–20°C with game, slow-cooked red meats or mature cheeses. Decant for about an hour before serving to help the wine open up. Its structure and reported ageing potential of more than 25 years make it a natural choice for patient cellaring as well as a special-occasion meal.

Producer
Founded by Giacomo Conterno in 1908, the family estate is among the most revered names in Barolo and is known for a traditional, site-focused approach. Monfortino has a storied place in the region’s history: once labelled “Extra Barolo,” it became a sought-after wine among the intellectual circles of its day. The Riserva is produced only in exceptional vintages, from the estate’s finest fruit.
