Giacomo Conterno Riserva Monfortino Barolo 2019 MG

Giacomo Conterno’s Riserva Monfortino is one of Barolo’s most revered names, and this 2019 release from Magnum format carries the pedigree of a wine made only in exceptional years. Crafted from Nebbiolo in Piedmont by a producer synonymous with traditional greatness, it represents both the power and finesse that have made Monfortino legendary among collectors.

Tasting Notes
Monfortino typically shows a deep, luminous garnet color in youth, with a perfume that unfolds slowly in layers of rose petal, sour cherry, dried herbs, spice, and earthy mineral tones. In the 2019 vintage, expect a wine of remarkable clarity and tension, with a refined, almost architectural structure that balances concentrated fruit with firm, noble tannins and a long, resonant finish. The palate is expected to be intensely expressive yet composed, with Nebbiolo’s signature lift, savory complexity, and an almost endless aftertaste. While approachable aromatically over time, this is a wine built for long aging and will reward patience for decades, gaining depth, silkiness, and tertiary nuance with cellaring.

Production
Sourced from outstanding Barolo vineyards in Piedmont, Monfortino is made only from the best fruit in vintages deemed worthy of the Riserva bottling. Giacomo Conterno is known for traditional vinification and extended aging, allowing the Nebbiolo to develop purity and structure while preserving the identity of the terroir. The result is a wine of precision and longevity, shaped by careful selection and a hands-off philosophy in the cellar.

Food & Serving
Best served with richly flavored dishes that can stand up to its structure, such as braised beef, roast game, truffle pasta, or aged cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C and decant well in advance—several hours if possible—to allow the wine’s aromas and structure to open gradually.

Producer
Founded in the early 20th century, Giacomo Conterno is one of Barolo’s defining estates and a benchmark for traditional Italian winemaking. Based in Monforte d’Alba, the family has earned worldwide acclaim for producing some of the region’s most profound and ageworthy wines, with Monfortino standing as its most iconic achievement.
