The estate of Giacomo Conterno is arguably home to the greatest and most age-worthy Barolo on the planet – the Riserva Speciale Monfortino. Often credited with laying the foundation for what is now considered the traditional style, the Monfortino was one of the first Barolos produced capable of extended aging potential. Antonio Galloni describes Conterno's Monfortino as "magnificent", and that it "explodes from the glass with a luxurious, expansive personality that leaves me speechless."   The Monfortino is aged for a minimum of 7 years in oak barrels and only released when the quality meets the highest standards. This rigor and attention sets Monfortino's style apart from their other bottlings. I am pleased to share with you these incredibly special bottles of Giacomo Conterno Riserva Speciale Monfortino.
