You don't need to talk to much about legends. A pure, elegant simultaneously super powerful, expressive, complex interpretation of the Nebbiolo grape. Dried red berries, tar, rose petals, underbrush and balsamic components melt together in this irresistible Monfortino. And (of course) decades of life ahead.

The first magnum was corked! But the second is a piece of work! Great balance showing classic tar and roses, with elegance.

Surprisingly open, but not for long. This wine is about to hibernate for 15-20 years.

Almost impossible to assess. This is in a state of total hibernation.

Still ruby core medium deep , garnet terracotta rim. After a while more mineral crushed rocks. Meaty notes , quite earthy , sous bois , truffle , old wood . On the palate sweeter fruits , lovely spice , firm tannins , good acidity , great length . Young , needs time, another 5-10 years perhaps .
