Tasting Notes
Hauntingly complex aromas of tar, roses, dried cherry, and truffles. Massive structure with unbelievable depth, yet remarkably refined.
Our Review
Monfortino is Italy's most legendary wine — a Barolo of almost incomprehensible depth and longevity. The 2015 is already hailed as one of the greatest vintages ever produced.
