2019 Barolo Le Coste di Monforte d’Alba, Diego Conterno
Quite deep coloured for nebbiolo, the deep dark fruit is plump yet sleek. Black plum, cherry and a hint of smoke on the nose lead to a palate with a creamy feel to it, with exhuberant cherry and cassis fruit with hints of violet and mint. Full bodies and powerful, yet supremely elegant. 2030-2042

The 2019 Barolo Le Coste di Monforte is a gorgeous, exotic, intriguing wine. Dried flowers, mint, lavender, spice, tobacco and incense are all beautifully delineated. Ample and vibrant, with tons of depth, the 2019 is absolutely compelling today. The 2019 offers tons of Le Coste power, and a good deal of finesse as well.
