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.

About this wine
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.
