Giacomo Conterno Monfortino 2020 is offered here in a 3-litre Double Magnum, a format that strengthens its collectible appeal while preserving the wine's identity: a 100% Nebbiolo Barolo Riserva DOCG selected mainly from Francia, with a 15% component from Arione.

Monfortino tradition in large format

The method remains the one that has defined this wine over time: fermentation and extended maceration in wooden vats without temperature control, followed by around seven years in large casks. The 3-litre format makes it particularly compelling for an important cellar or a major occasion.

The 2020 vintage

The 2020 shows a more open and seductive profile than the firmer 2019, with red fruit, blood orange, rose, lavender, sage and mint, polished tannins, bright acidity and a long savoury finish. James Suckling awarded it 99/100, while Vinous rated the vintage 98/100.

A collectible Double Magnum

Monfortino is produced only in vintages considered worthy and sits among the most collectible expressions of Barolo. The 2020 release is scheduled for autumn 2026. Serve at around 16-18 °C with braised meats, game, red meats and mature cheeses.
