2023 Monchiero Langhe Nebbiolo Anfora

94 Points, Tip Top Tipple - Gary Walsh (TWF) – “Here’s a beautiful wine. It’s fine-boned with gentle dusty tannin, flavours of cherry, strawberry, spice and liquorice root, etched with bright acidity, finishing long, perfumed and savoury at once. Highly recommended.”

93 Points, Kerin O'Keefe - "The savory Monchiero 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo version aged in terracotta amphora has pristine fruit sensations of wild cherry, strawberry compote, orange peel, cinnamon, wild herb and an earthy hint of truffle intertwined with taut, chalky tannins. Flint-like mineral sensations give it depth while fresh acidity keeps it lifted". Drink–2030. Abv: 14% Kerin O’Keefe February 2025 

Kerin O'Keefe on Monchiero - "Consistently turning out excellent wines vintage after vintage, it’s a mystery to me why this estate flies under the radar for many Barolo lovers.”    

Amphora raised nebbiolo with a delicate silky tannin structure & high drinkability / accessibility in its youth.  The 2023 is just the third release & a very strong rendition at that.
