Monchiero is located right in the heart of the Barolo region in Castiglione Falletto, and they produce some of the finest Nebbiolo grapes in the region. This is a true family operation with Vittorio Monchiero at the helm and sons Luca and Stefano helping him in the vineyards and cellar.
This is an absolutely gorgeous bottle of Nebbiolo with true varietal character and crystal clear notes of red fruit, cherry, hints of lavender and a vibrant minerality in the finish.
Every Barolo fan needs to stock up on this. Ideal for any Italian BYO night or every holiday party. This is also the perfect bottle to pop open while your Barolos age in the cellar.
It isn't often we send out an offer on a 97 point wine, even rarer is a 97 point wine under $20! Grab this while you can!
"Outstanding top shelf quality: a complexity of earthy dark fruit and herbaceous heather with an arresting saline footnote. Ardent and inspiring with strident, well-executed tannins, a delicious leathery texture and succulent acidity. Long and mesmerising." - 97 Points Decanter
"It is traditionally produced with the Nebbiolo grapes and ages for a maximum of 18 months in oak barrels. Then it matures in the bottle and completely acquires its own characteristics. It exhibits a lively red colour, intensive aromas and texture for medium-term storage. It goes very well with pasta and risotto as well as meat dishes, where it develops its intrinsic features." - Winery
