The Barolo Monfalletto by Cordero di Montezemolo at the tasting shows an intense garnet color. On the nose, evident floral notes are accompanied by hints of tobacco, cocoa, cherries in alcohol and raspberry. Wine of great taste richness, it is particularly full-bodied and elegant.

Critic tasting note: (2020 vintage) "The wine opens with aromas of macerated ripe berries, complemented by dried rosebuds and sweet spices that develop with more time in the glass. Lush layers of black cherry that evolve into darker hued fruits with savory spice, black tea and hints of wild mushrooms all swell to a finish that leads to a full-bodied, sumptuous character that is ready to drink but will also go the distance.

"Tea leaves, slate, wild berry fruit, violets and some tar on the nose. It’s firm yet silky on the palate, medium-bodied, with super fine tannins and a cool minerality to it. Lots of tension and energy, if a little tight for now. From organically grown grapes. Try from 2028." - 95 points jamessuckling.com
