Description
This wine is a blend of grapes from the east-facing old vines of Monforte’s San Giovanni site, and the south-facing sandier soils of Monrobiolo di Bussia. Spontaneous fermentation and one month of maceration is followed by two years in wood. It’s wonderfully fragrant, with high-toned spices, citrus, chinato and glassy berries. The depth of fruit, gleaming sandstone tannins and mineral purity is the true highlight here.
Davy Zyw, Senior Buyer, Berry Bros. & Rudd
Critics reviews
Just mid ruby with orange tinges. An amplification of their very pretty Langhe Nebbiolo, with more inherent richness but the same minerality, but now wrapped up in sweetly perfumed raspberry fruit. Supple, long and persistent, the fruit on the finish is carried by a fine, long tannic trail. Long, finely balanced and with real depth and with just a touch of oak.
