Barolo Comune di Monforte d'Alba 2018

Made by our friend Fabio Fantino, this tiny vineyard of less than half a hectare is also the regions highest at 530 metres.

"The 2017 Barolo del Comune di Monforte d’Alba from Bricco Giubellini is gorgeous. Sweet, perfumed and beautifully lifted, the 2017 shows off all of the allure this high-altitude site is capable of. Sweet macerated cherry, mint, spice, orange peel and raspberry linger on the persistent, slightly nervous finish. Bricco Giubellini remains one of Piedmont's undiscovered gems. The 2017 will appeal most to readers who enjoy fragrant, mid-weight Barolos.'' 92 points, Antonio Galloni
