The 2004 Barolo Monfalletto is yet another of the gorgeous entry-level Barolos in this vintage. The wine offers up plenty of dark red fruits, smoke, licorice and spices with excellent density and depth on the palate. Although the intensity trails off a bit on the finish, this is a fairly large-scaled version of this wine. It is a terrific effort. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2022.
This is a set of surprisingly rich, concentrated wines from Cordero di Montezemolo, one of Piedmont’s historic properties.
