The "Monfortino" is made only 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 kept for at least 7 years in large Slovenian oak barrels. The 2013 Barolo Riserva Monfortino is now safely housed in a bottle after being allowed to mature in barrels and bottle for almost 6 years. The wine was bottled in June 2020 and will not be released until November 2021.

Warm aromas of plums, rose petals and spices with hints of sandalwood. A little tar. Full bodied, dense central palate with glorious fruit and a fantastic finish. Very, very polished and fine tannins. A great Monfortino and we are not going to 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 got 98+/100 points from Parker.
