{"product_id":"barolo-riserva-monfortino-2022","title":"Barolo Riserva Monfortino 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003eBarolo Riserva Monfortino 2020\u003c\/b\u003e by \u003cb\u003eGiacomo Conterno\u003c\/b\u003e ranks among the most significant wines of Piedmont and is crafted only in vintages where the harvested fruit meets the estate’s extraordinarily high standards. Its foundation consists primarily of Nebbiolo grapes from the famed Francia vineyard in Serralunga d’Alba, complemented by a portion from the neighboring Arione cru. The calcareous marl soils and distinctive character of the Serralunga vineyards endow the wine with profound depth, structural firmness, and a pronounced mineral imprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 vintage reveals a slightly more open and supple facet of Monfortino without compromising its hallmark concentration and longevity. Traditional vinification follows the uncompromising philosophy of Roberto Conterno: fermentation and extended maceration take place in large wooden vats before the wine matures for many years in large Slavonian oak casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, a multi-layered spectrum of ripe cherries, raspberries, and blood orange unfolds, accompanied by rose petals, violets, sage, and lavender, joined by nuances of tea, wet stone, and delicate balsamic notes. On the palate, dense, ripe fruit combines with vibrant acidity and an extraordinarily fine-grained tannin structure. Despite its concentration, the wine feels remarkably supple and precise. The long finish is carried by red fruit, floral nuances, and refined mineral spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003eMonfortino 2020\u003c\/b\u003e unites the monumental substance of a great Barolo with an aromatic openness that is especially seductive for this wine. Its balance of fruit, freshness, and tannin grants it exceptional potential for bottle aging—a grand ambassador of classic Barolo tradition whose complexity will continue to unfold over decades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giacomo Conterno","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57727726879095,"sku":"12-73-1315-20","price":1150.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/7033\/7601\/files\/Dummy_49775599-ee59-4798-b9c0-0ee6097f1dc2.jpg?v=1794236085","url":"https:\/\/vintage-grapes.com\/en\/products\/barolo-riserva-monfortino-2022","provider":"Vintage Grapes GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
