The highly anticipated return of a Barolo icon, in exclusive preview
The Monfortino 2019 Jeroboam represents the absolute pinnacle of the Barolo tradition and the most monumental expression of Giacomo Conterno’s artistry. Offered as an exclusive preview in almost symbolic quantities, it embodies with unmatched purity the philosophy that has made the Conterno family legendary: total respect for the terroir, classical winemaking, and a vision of time that transcends generations.
Sourced from the Francia vineyard in Serralunga d’Alba, this 2019 Nebbiolo exhibits extraordinary depth and tension. The vintage, defined by a perfect equilibrium of power and freshness, produced a wine that is both chiselled and harmoniously balanced. In the grand 3-liter Jeroboam format, Monfortino reaches an almost sculptural dimension, designed to endure decades with silent power and timeless grace.
The bouquet is expansive and profound, yet exquisitely refined. Notes of black cherry, blood orange zest, licorice, mint, leather, tobacco, iron, and exotic spices unfold with elegance. On the palate, it is imposing yet precise, with flawlessly carved tannins and a balance that unites gravitas and luminosity. Its structure is vertical, pure, and majestic, while the finish lingers for minutes, revealing hypnotic mineral and balsamic layers.
A legendary wine and a living symbol of Italian oenology, the Monfortino 2019 Jeroboam is a true collectible. It stands as an ode to time, craftsmanship, and patience, each bottle a fragment of history destined for the most discerning connoisseurs.
