This Barolo shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of brick red,
moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined
and elegant aromas that start with hints of cherry, plum and violet
followed by aromas of raspberry, strawberry, vanilla, rose, tobacco, cocoa,
licorice, cinnamon, leather and menthol. The mouth has good correspondence
to the nose, a tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by
alcohol, full body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors
of cherry, plum and raspberry. A well made wine. Barolo Monfalletto ages
for 18-22 months in cask.
