Monchiero is nestled in the picturesque commune of Castiglione Falletto in the Barolo region. The terroir here is amongst some of the greatest you will find in all of Piedmont. There's a belt of vineyards in Castiglione Falletto that some refer to as the Chambolle-Musigny of Piedmont and Monchiero sit right within this patch. These are ultra-traditional terroir driven wines of the highest order. Medium-depth red colour with a purple tinge, the bouquet reserved and shy, very earthy/dusty and savoury, with brick-dust and dried porcini nuances. The palate is very powerful and full-bodied, loaded with tannin and concentrated flavour, classically savoury and persistent. Blackberry confiture buried deep in a shroud of tannin. Excellent Barolo. Long-term. - Rating: 97 Points; Huon Hooke Read More
