Barolo Monfortino Giacomo Conterno 1990

HED98580 75cl 14%
Giacomo Conterno Barolo Monfortino 1990 is a full-bodied, single-vineyard Nebbiolo red wine from the Barolo appellation of Piedmont, northern Italy. The Barolos of Giacomo Conterno are renowned for their extraordinary combination of power, subtlety and longevity, and to many represent the apogee of Italian fine wines. Giacomo Conterno produced Barolo Monfortino for the first time in 1934. It was the first Barolo wine to be made in what is now considered the `classic` style. To many aficionados, it is the ultimate expression of Nebbiolo. On the 1990. "The 1990 Monfortino is very, very good, but in this context it is a bit rustic. One of the reasons for grouping the wines in thematic flights is to gain additional perspectives that aren’t possible when wines are grouped in chronological order. In this tasting, it is so obvious that the 1990 is closer in style to the wines of the 1980s than the 1990s or 2000s, something I never fully understood or appreciated to this degree. Tasted from magnum." Vinous, 2014

Giacomo Conterno

Giacomo Conterno

Founded in the 1920s, Giacomo Conterno is an iconic Piedmont estate currently owned and operated by Roberto, grandson of winery founder and namesake. Giacomo was assisted by his brother Aldo Conterno for many years before Aldo left to establish his own eponymous winery, pursuing a different style of winemaking altogether. 

Along with Gaja and Bruno Giacosa, the winery is considered to be one of the premier producers of fine Barolo. Cascina Francia and Monfortino (only made in select vintages and aged for up to seven years before release) are Conterno's top wines when it comes to Nebbiolo, but the team also make excellent Barbera a'Alba. The Nebbiolo are traditional expressions of the Piedmont terroir in many ways - long-lived and earthy with an elegant savoury character to match alluring ripe red and black fruit notes.
