Barolo Monfalletto Cordero di Montezemolo 2021 (750ML)

About This Wine

From the renowned Cordero di Montezemolo estate in Piedmont, this 2021 Barolo Monfalletto DOCG showcases the distinctive character of one of Barolo's most celebrated vineyard sites. Built on Nebbiolo grapes, it presents a deep garnet hue with an intricate bouquet of dark cherry, plum, and rose, accented by subtle notes of truffle, licorice, and warm spice. The palate reveals impressive structure—rich dark fruit flavors interwoven with earthy undertones and refined tannin architecture that culminates in a sustained, sophisticated finish. This is a wine of considerable depth and nuance, ideally suited to pairing with robust preparations including braised beef, wild game, and well-aged cheeses.
