Giacomo Conterno Monfortino Riserva DOCG Barolo, Piemonte, Italy, 1958

Product Details

Product Description

Monfortino is produced from Cascina Francia’s Nebbiolo vineyards and is made only in exceptionally good years. Older vintages may bear the mention 'Riserva Speciale'. Critic tasting note: "This is perhaps the Monfortino vintage I have had the most of, since my grandfather filled the cellar with it because it was the year I was born. During the 1990s I opened a bottle for nine birthdays in a row. More recently a couple of bottles worked their way into some memorable tastings and as always with moving results. It still sums up all the qualities of a mature Monfortino: boldness, vigor, elegance and complexity. A diffused balsamic component remains the leitmotif along with some bewitching and seductive chocolate. The mouthfeel by now seems to have completely settled to become a very caressing drape, albeit a vigorous caress, marked by a consolidated tannic acidity. A dream wine still at its peak." - <i>98/100</i>, <i>Doctorwine</i>
