TASTING NOTES: Conterno’s 2000 Barolo Riserva Monfortino explodes from the glass with a luxurious, expansive personality that leaves me speachless. Endowed with generous ripe fruit, it is a seamless, seductive Monfortino that possesses incredible length as well as purity in a style that perfectly encapsulates the qualities of the vintage. With air, suggestions of roses, cocoa, tar and anise emerge to complete this magnificent expression of Barolo from Serralunga. Despite its seemingly approachable personality this wine has plenty of underlying structure. I suggest tasting the wine as soon as it appears on retail shelves as it is almost certain to shut down at some point in the near future. As for the magical question: When will the wine be ready? Looking at other warm vintages, the 1985 is peaking but has plenty of life ahead of it, and the 1990 is still an infant, so my best guess is that the 2000 will start drinking well around age 20, but personally I am not sure I will have the patience to wait that long. Low yields, a long fermentation time of 4-5 weeks with no temperature control and seven years of cask aging remain the rule for Monfortino. The string of Monfortinos spanning 1996 to 2001 (and possibly 2002) must surely be a record. I can’t think of another estate in the world that has produced six consecutive vintages of this profound quality. The 2000 Monfortino ranks slightly behind the 1999 and 2001, but that may be splitting hairs at this very high level. It is another stellar effort from Giacomo Conterno.

Barolo

About Barolo

Barolo, hailed as the "King of Wines" and the "Wine of Kings," stands as a jewel within the Langhe region of Piedmont, Italy. This prestigious red wine appellation is exclusively dedicated to the Nebbiolo grape, a variety celebrated for its high acidity, robust tannins, and ability to convey the essence of terroir. Barolo, crafted from Nebbiolo, has earned a global reputation for its complexity, structure, and exceptional aging potential.

The vineyards of Barolo are nestled in the Langhe hills, encompassing communes such as Barolo, La Morra, Castiglione Falletto, Serralunga d'Alba, and Monforte d'Alba. The diverse soils, ranging from marl to limestone and sand, contribute to the multifaceted character of Barolo wines.

In the glass, Barolo reveals a deep garnet color and a captivating bouquet. Aromas of red and dark fruits intermingle with notes of rose petals, tar, licorice, and earthy undertones. The hallmark of Barolo lies in its robust structure, marked by high acidity and firm tannins, which lend the wine not only a powerful presence but also the potential for graceful aging.

The aging process of Barolo is meticulous, often involving extended maceration and maturation in large oak casks for several years. This patient approach allows the wine to soften its tannins and evolve, revealing secondary and tertiary flavors that enhance its complexity.

Barolo includes distinguished single-vineyard or cru-designated wines, each bearing the name of the specific vineyard and embodying its unique characteristics. While Barolo lacks a formal classification system, certain vineyards and areas are recognized for consistently producing exceptional wines.

The Consorzio del Barolo, established in 1908, unites Barolo producers in their commitment to preserving and promoting the quality and reputation of Barolo wines. Beyond its enological significance, Barolo is deeply ingrained in the cultural and culinary heritage of Piedmont, often complementing the region's rich and hearty cuisine.

Barolo's reputation as one of Italy's finest wines transcends borders, captivating the palates of wine enthusiasts globally. Its ability to age gracefully, unfolding layers of flavor and character over time, adds to its allure and positions Barolo as a timeless symbol of Piedmontese winemaking tradition.
