Description

The “Monfortino” Barolo wine of Conterno is one of the ambassador of the Italian oenology. This wine is grown from the Nebbiolo grapes, cultivated in a favourable area for its climate and soil. This Barolo wine owns a classic and traditional style, while it presents an intense ruby red colour, even if a little transparent. Its smell reveals an intense, various and spiced perfume, with hints of mature red fruit, cherry, licorice, tobacco, truffle and black pepper.
