2019 Monchiero del Comune di La Morra Barolo

From the outstanding 2019 vintage. Stunning traditional style Barolo from Roere di Santa Maria cru in La Morra.  All about the fruit unlike so many Barolo from La Morra, that all too commonly are smothered by barrique influence. 

95 Points, Kerin O’Keefe – “Fragrant and refined, the 2019 Monchiero Barolo del Comune di La Morra is absolutely beautiful, starting with its enticing fragrance of violet, perfumed berry, eucalyptus and cake spice. All about finesse, the polished, delicious palate delivers raspberry, cherry, cinnamon stick and crushed mint wrapped up in smooth tannins. Fresh acidity provides balance and vibrancy. The elegance and perfumes of this wine perfectly demonstrate why La Morra was traditionally a crucial element in classic Barolos made with Nebbiolo from different townships”. Drink 2027–2039

96 Points , Lisa Cardelli (The Wine Pilot) - "Wild red berries, potpourri, leather, amaro tang, terracotta, tar-mineral undertone. Strong tannic presence but wow those tannins are elegant. The sandier soils have translated into such show-stopping structure and first-class Barolo." Drink 2023-2045+
