Tasting notes
The Piero Benevelli 2019 Barolo Le Coste di Monforte is a beautiful wine with lots of cherry and bright fruit to give the bouquet energy and lift. You get the characteristic power of Monforte d'Alba fruit, which carries a bit of extra minerality in the form or iron ore or rust. This wine is quite tight on the close, with mineral-metallic notes, suggesting that more bottle age is needed. However, these results are balanced and very elegant. This is a 9,000-bottle release.

The 2019 Barolo Le Coste di Monforte is redolent of dried herbs, leather, tobacco, menthol, pine, dried rose petal and spice. The aromatics are quite pretty, but like all these wines, the Le Coste is not fully expressive at this stage. Searingly tannic and potent.
