Description
According to Alessandro, this vineyard has the highest proportion of limestone in Barolo, and so represents a Serralungan austerity and power (the limestone) married to Monforte’s muscle. The palate represents this exactly, with a lush overtone of dark fruit, cinched by a belt of fine-grained tannins. The wine appears both hedonistic and understatedly assertive. The lick of spicy freshness that defines the vintage rounds out the finish.Mark Pardoe MW, Wine Director, Berry Bros. & Rudd
