Barolo Le Coste di Monforte 2020

What kind of wine it is

Barolo Le Coste di Monforte by Piero Benevelli is a red wine from Piedmont made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. In the glass, it displays a bright garnet red colour, enhanced by elegant orange highlights. The bouquet reveals notes of rose, small red fruits and alpine herbs, enriched by a distinct mineral note. On the palate, it is taut and vibrant, supported by masterfully chiselled tannins; the well-balanced harmony between structure and freshness leads to a long and harmonious finish, ideal for enhancing roasts, mature cheeses and traditional game dishes.

Where it comes from

This Barolo originates from Le Coste di Monforte, a renowned area located in the municipality of Monforte d’Alba. The Piero Benevelli winery, through meticulous artisan management, directly cultivates its own vineyards in the San Giuseppe locality. The family-run nature of the business ensures a deep and constant connection with its homeland. The characteristics of the Langhe hills give the wine its typical gustatory tension and a pronounced territorial identity, faithfully reflecting the pure character of Piedmont.

How it is produced

Vinification is carried out with the utmost attention to aromatic clarity, in order to preserve the clear, distinctive profile of the grape variety. The firm tannic structure gives the wine a remarkable capacity for ageing, ensuring an estimated longevity of between ten and fifteen years. To fully appreciate the evolution of its aromatic nuances and the vibrant elegance on the palate, it is recommended to decant for one hour before serving the wine at a temperature between 18 and 20°C.
