Giacomo Conterno Barolo Monfortino 2005 750mL is a red wine from Piedmont, Italy. Monfortino is Giacomo Conterno’s Barolo Riserva.
About This Wine
This is the 2005 release of the Monfortino label; it is distinct from the estate’s other Barolo bottlings.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Nebbiolo can develop rose and dried cherry aromas with bottle age.
- Palate: Expect a firm, savoury Barolo structure rather than a soft red.
- Finish: Earthy, tannic and persistent in style.
Serving & Food
Stand the bottle upright before service, then decant carefully if sediment has formed. Braised beef is a natural match for mature Nebbiolo.
How to Enjoy
Open with a meal that gives the wine time in the glass; assess the cork and condition of any older bottle.

About the Winery
The Conterno name is associated with long-aged Nebbiolo from Barolo. Monfortino is the estate’s Riserva expression, distinct from its other Barolo bottlings. The Langhe’s Nebbiolo wines are structured reds that reward careful service. Monfortino belongs to this tradition but has its own identity within the estate’s range.
