Diego Conterno Description
An endlessly elegant Nebbiolo wine sourced from three separate vineyards in Monforte. ‘San Giovanni,’ not far from the Barolo commune, contributes suave fruit; ‘Bricco San Pietro’ provides freshness; and ‘Ginestra’ the wine’s heady structure. Aged for two years in traditional oak cask, called “botti.”
Vinous: 90 Points
The 2018 Barolo is relatively soft (for a Monforte Barolo), aromatic and ready to provide pleasure with minimal cellaring. Spice, cedar, tobacco, incense and dark red fruit all meld together nicely in this attractive Barolo from Diego Conterno. All the elements are so well-balanced
