Description
Piero Benevelli Barolo Le Coste di Monforte 2020 is a classic single-vineyard Barolo that showcases Nebbiolo at its most refined and age-worthy. From the prestigious hills of Monforte d’Alba, it combines power, structure, and aromatic complexity in a way that captures the soul of Piedmont’s most celebrated wine region.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright garnet hue with the lighter rim characteristic of Nebbiolo, hinting at both elegance and youth. The nose is layered and expressive, with notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, liquorice, dried herbs, and a subtle earthy, tar-like depth.
On the palate, it is firm and structured, with taut tannins, vibrant acidity, and a core of pure red fruit balanced by savory, mineral nuances. This is a wine built for patience, and while approachable with proper aeration, it will benefit greatly from cellaring, developing further complexity over the next decade or more.
Production
Le Coste di Monforte comes from one of the most respected areas of Barolo, where limestone-rich soils and hillside exposures help Nebbiolo achieve its signature balance of perfume, grip, and finesse. The grapes are harvested by hand to preserve quality, and the vinification is carried out with careful extraction to maintain the variety’s aromatic precision and structural backbone.
Food & Serving
This Barolo is a natural match for rich, flavorful dishes such as braised beef, veal shank, truffle risotto, porcini mushroom pasta, and aged cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for at least 1–2 hours before drinking to allow the wine’s aromas and tannins to open fully.

Piero Benevelli is a respected family producer in Monforte d’Alba, known for crafting wines that reflect the character of their local terroir with honesty and precision.
