Tasting notes
The 1967 Monfortino is perfumed, silky and light on its feet. I find it incredibly fresh and alluring for a wine of its age. A timeless beauty, the 1967 possesses striking inner perfume and class from start to finish. It’s an incredibly beautiful and nuanced wine. These bottles are as good as it gets.

Conterno's 1967 Barolo Riserva Monfortino presented a more advanced set of leather, spice and stewed prunes in a delicate, understated style.
Fully mature for the past decade, the 1967 Barolo Monfortino is one of Conterno's great successes. For some reason, this wine has long been ignored when top-notch Monfortinos are discussed by wine lovers/aficionados. The 1967 reveals a mature, ruby/garnet color with considerable amber. The smoky, earthy bouquet offers up copious quantities of sweet tea and dried fruit aromas. There is a sweet, succulent, rich, fleshy mouth-feel with just enough acidity and tannin to provide delineation. Owners should not push their luck by holding this wine longer as it needs to be consumed. Importer: Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700
About the producer
Giacomo Conterno is arguably Barolo’s most celebrated estate. While most famous for its Monfortino Riserva, the quality found in every bottling of Nebbiolo and Barbera at this address makes them a benchmark producer for both varieties.
