The 2010 Barolo Riserva Monfortino is a perfect wine and there are few things I am more sure of in this life. This is an extraordinary creation that bursts from the glass with a level of distinct intensity and elegance that is nothing short of breathtaking. The wine literally evokes an emotional and deeply visceral reaction thanks to the lasting impression it makes on your heart, mind and gut. This Barolo opens to a delicate garnet color that is brightened with crystalline luminosity. The bouquet offers an immediate curtain-raiser with chiseled aromas of wild berry, licorice, white truffle and tar. That explosive start is followed by a mounting crescendo of complexity and nuance. The wine is extremely silky and polished in terms of mouthfeel and this helps to underline its impressive persistence. Bravo!

This is one of the most balanced, harmonious Monfortinos I’ve ever tasted. Aromas of dried rose petals and oranges. It’s full-bodied yet compacted and tight. Tannins are perfectly managed. All in harmony. This is from one of the latest harvests ever; it started October 29. So fabulous and so perfect now, why wait? But will age for decades. 99 points.

The black cherry and plum fruit is accented by vanilla and toasty oak in this sleek, polished red, which is lively and beautifully integrated, so give it time to absorb the oak. Shows fine length and a mineral aftertaste. Best from 2022 through 2040. 666 cases made.  –BS

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.
