Gianni Gagliardo Barolo del Comune di Monforte d'Alba 2022

Gianni Gagliardo’s 2022 Barolo del Comune di Monforte d'Alba brings together Nebbiolo from two of Monforte’s notable crus: Mosconi and Castelletto. Their contrasting characters—Mosconi’s depth and fullness alongside Castelletto’s more linear structure and aromatic lift—give this wine a distinctive expression of a historic Barolo commune.

Tasting Notes
Barolo made from Nebbiolo typically shows a garnet hue that can develop toward brick tones with age, with aromas and flavours often spanning red cherry, rose, dried herbs and earthy notes. The blend’s balance of depth, structure and aromatic detail is suggested by the contrasting vineyard contributions, though the specific tasting profile of the 2022 vintage is not provided. Nebbiolo’s firm tannins and natural acidity generally give Barolo the capacity to evolve in bottle. The wine’s precise drinking window cannot be established from the available information.

Production
The cuvée draws on two cru vineyards in Monforte d’Alba. Mosconi, with its warmer exposure and soil that contributes fullness and depth, is balanced by Castelletto’s cooler exposure, which lends a more linear character and greater aromatic expression. Details about harvesting and vinification were not provided.

Food & Serving
Nebbiolo’s structure makes Barolo a natural match for braised or roasted red meats, game, and dishes with mushrooms or truffles; aged hard cheeses are another good option. Serve at around 16–18°C. A decant of about an hour can help the wine open, particularly if enjoying it young.
