Description

Renowned the world over, this noble descendent of Nebbiolo wine has its roots in the Italian Unification. Many illustrious figures bore witness to its origins, like Marchesa Giulia Falletti di Barolo, Count Cavour and the first royalty from the House of Savoia. An austere, generous wine, quite ageable, which is considered a merit in Italian oenology.

Monprivato is a small mention in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto but is considered to be one of the most important of the entire Barolo designation.

Review
The colour is slightly lighter and a more evolved tile-red here, but still purple tinged; the bouquet of terracotta and ground spices with a more floral note....faded roses. In the mouth the wine comes alive, with great intensity and drive, lively acidity that freshens the mouth, intense and very long. An impressive wine that combines power with elegance.

The colour of this wine astounds due to the intensity of the garnet and ruby reds that shine. Its alcoholic strength stands out in an abundant formation of church windows and tears. The characteristics of this grape variety include a rich and lingering bouquet, amplified by elegant sensations reminiscent of black cherry and delicate floral nuances. With time, estery sensations develop with hints recalling resin and sweet spices.
