Barolo Monfortino Giacomo Conterno Magnum 2000
Barolo Monfortino Giacomo Conterno Magnum 2000 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 26-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with beef stew, mushroom risotto, steak, lamb.

The Barolo Riserva Monfortino 2000 from Giacomo Conterno is an intense, powerful Nebbiolo produced exclusively in exceptional years and sourced from the Cascina Francia vineyard in Serralunga d`Alba. The wine is a profound expression of the traditional Barolo style, known for its long maceration and extended maturation of seven years in large oak botti. The 2000 vintage presents a character of finesse and delicacy alongside the typical Monfortino power, offering a complex profile of dark fruit, dried flowers, liquorice and earthy undertones. Its formidable yet integrated tannins and refreshing acidity suggest a long life in the magnum format.
