Tasting Notes

Gentle ripe fruit, with bass and smooth depth, hints of rose, peach and ripe cherry on the nose. Sensual, slightly rounder, and quite grand. This Barolo 'Comune' speaks of its terroir, and how the winemaker has guided it.

More Info

The more I look around at fine wine prices, the more disconsolate I become, and the more I realise we need to shout about these kinds of wines that come from superb terroirs, from the incredible Nebbiolo grape, and from passionate winemakers. Moreover, they are much better with food than many of highly priced wines. On the look out for fantastic wines that offer value, I went to a tasting of top 'Comune' Barolo from the 2020 vintage with the Barolo boys at 67 Pall Mall. I selected two wines as my favourites. This one from Diego Conterno and another from Agostino Bosco.

FROM THE PRESS

“One of the undiscovered jewels in Barolo. The quality of the range is immediately evident from the entry-level Barolos on up. In fact, I especially admire the entry-level offerings for their combination of seriousness and immediacy. Readers who enjoy classically built wines, take note”
Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com
“The 2020 Barolo del Comune di Monforte d’Alba is a very serious wine. Deeply pitched notes of balsamic, menthol, licorice, spice, chocolate and blackberry soar out of the glass. A wine of depth and textural drive, the 2020 captures tons of Monforte character. Soft tannins (for a young Barolo) make the 2020 surprisingly—I should say shockingly—accessible. What a wine! - Sept 2024 - A.Galloni, Vinous.com”
