A powerful, velvety Barolo with 30 months of wood aging - full of leather, tobacco and vanilla - that only really comes to life after years of bottle aging.| Won Award: Decanter 2024 Bronze
Barolo is not born equal everywhere. On the highest part of the municipality of Monforte d’Alba, at the San Giuseppe site at 450 metres altitude, lie the vineyards of Diego Pressenda La Torricella. The soil is of the Elveziano type, richer in clay than elsewhere in the Langhe, with a mixed composition and south-eastern exposure. That combination of altitude, soil type, and location gives the “Le Coste di Monforte” its character: a cru with depth and structure, grown on vines planted in 2008.
The winemaking is classical and patient. Maceration of the skins lasts twenty to thirty days, followed by thirty months of ageing in large French oak barrels. A further twelve months of bottle ageing follow. That long journey gives the 100% Nebbiolo the time to tame its tannins and unfold its complexity.
In the glass it is garnet red with orange reflections, characteristic of aged Nebbiolo. The nose combines sweet notes of vanilla and sandalwood with red fruits such as cherry and amarena. On the palate it is elegant, full, and enveloping, with a silky tannin structure and a fresh, fragrant finish. A wine for special moments at the table: brasato al Barolo, aged cheeses, or quiet, deep reflection. Serve at 18 degrees.
The wine comes directly from the winemakers, they send the bottles themselves.
