Barolo Monfortino Giacomo Conterno 1985
750 ml Nebbiolo Piedmont, Italy 1985
Barolo Monfortino Giacomo Conterno 1985 is a dry, full-bodied red from Nebbiolo (Barolo, Italy), in the full, structured reds style. Tannins are very firm and acidity very high; oak influence is little. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 41-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with beef stew, mushroom risotto, steak, lamb.

Merchant's description
Only produced in vintages deemed optimal, Monfortino is a parcel selection of the Cascina Francia vineyard made shortly before harvest and is aged on average 7 years prior to release. The heady and ethereal 1985 is a wine that delivers unforgettable pleasure with its remarkable fruit definition, savoury complexity and length.
