2019 Barolo 'Le Coste di Monforte'

Product Info

This 2019 Barolo “Le Coste di Monforte” from Diego Pressenda is a refined expression of Nebbiolo from the hills of Monforte d’Alba, one of Barolo’s most celebrated communes. Crafted with a focus on traditional winemaking and the character of the vineyard, the wine combines the structure and longevity of classic Barolo with the elegant, mineral-driven character of Monforte. The 2019 vintage offers impressive balance, with layers of red fruit, violet, spice and earthy complexity supported by firm but polished tannins.
