The 2004 Barolo Riserva Monfortino is drop-dead gorgeous. I have tasted the wine multiple times from barrel and three times from bottle and never been anything less than blown away. The 2004 is a subtle, layered Monfortino that captures the sheer elegance and finesse of this great vintage. It is sweet, perfumed, silky and utterly mind-blowing. From barrel it has always been a 100 point wine, but it has just been bottled and naturally a bit closed in on itself. Still, with some time in the glass its silky, perfumed fruit and dazzling class come to life. The 2004 is remarkably harmonious for such a young wine. Readers will have much fun debating which is the greatest Monfortino of recent years. Could it be the 1996, 1999 or 2002 for their huge structure and classicism? Or, is it the 1997 for its opulence? What if the dark horse 1998 and 2000 steal the show? Personally, I adore the 2001 and 2004 for their completeness, but the 2004 is the sexiest of them all. Sadly, 2004 is also the year Giovanni Conterno passed away, but one can’t escape the feeling his spirit lives in this wine. Kudos to Roberto Conterno and his team for this magnificent, thrilling Barolo. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2044.

Hersteller
Giacomo Conterno
Ohne Zweifel ist Giacomo Conterno einer der größten Produzenten in Barolo. Obwohl seine Wurzeln bis ins 18. Jahrhundert zurück reichen, begannen sie erst 1908 Barolo herzustellen, während die Familie eine Taverne in San Giuseppe in der Nähe von Monforte d'Alba betrieb. In den 1920er Jahren galten sie als einer der ersten Hersteller, die zu dieser Zeit Barolo in Flaschen abfüllten, während andere Hersteller von Barolo jeweils in Fässern und in Demijohns („Glassballons“) verkauften. In den 1930er Jahren begann das Weingut, Barolo Monfortino herzustellen der ein großes Alterungspotenzial bewies. 1954 produzierte das Weingut weiterhin einen Barolo und einen Barolo Riserva. 1961 übernahmen die beiden Söhne Giovanni und Aldo den Familienbetrieb. Aldo teile jedoch nicht die rein „traditionalistische Philosophie“ des Hauses und gründete 1969 sein eigenes Anwesen (Aldo Conterno Poderi). 1974 setze das Weingut mit dem Kauf des Cascina Francia Weinbergs dem Fremdbezug von Trauben ein Ende. Ab 1980 wurde der erste Jahrgang von ihren eigenen Trauben unter dem Namen Barolo Cascina Francia produziert. Heute kann der vollkommende und reinste Ausdruck des Barolos in den Flaschen mit dem Namen Giacomo Conterno gefunden werden. Diese Weine sind reich, mächtig, gut strukturiert und in der Lage lange in der Flasche zu reifen.
