2015 Giacomo Conterno Barolo Riserva Monfortino Magnum

The "Monfortino" is only made in the best vintages and is a selection of the best grapes from the vineyard. After the harvest, this part is also vinified separately and stored for at least 7 years in large Slovenian oak barrels. The 2015 Barolo Riserva Monfortino is magical. This is the first vintage to include Arione grapes, making the blend 80% Francia and 20% Arione. This returns Monfortino to its roots as a multi-vineyard wine, which it largely was until 1978 when the first Monfortino was made exclusively from Francia. The 2015 Barolo Riserva Monfortino is now safely housed in bottle after nearly 6 years of barrel and bottle aging. Warm aromas of plums, rose petals and spices with hints of sandalwood. A little tar. Full body, dense central palate with glorious fruit and a fantastic finish. Very, very polished and fine tannins. A great Monfortino and we will not waste any more words on this. The Montfortino is the Chateau Petrus from Piemonte. Extremely good, scarce and with an almost unlimited life. The 2015 has been awarded 98+/100 points by Parker. This is also a very scarce 1.5 liter magnum in OWC/1 - Even tastier and with an even longer drinking window .
