"Just mid ruby. Lots of juicy, concentrated raspberry fruit with a saline under­tow on the nose. Succulent, fragrant and long with bags of finely chiselled tannins. Elegant and almost a little ethereal. - Drink 2024 - 2034."

"The 2020 Barolo Del Comune Di Monforte D'Alba is fresh and ripe with aromas of ripe red cherries, dusty earth, clean fresh leather, and rose petals. Medium-bodied and silky in texture, it offers a light iron mineral touch, fine tannins, and a clean, fresh lift of acidity. The dark mineral accents that frame the wine add nuance and classic appeal, with notes of dried apricot on the back palate. It boasts a refreshing tone and is approachable and charming, which is what the best wines of this vintage have to offer. Drink it over the next 10 years."

"The nose is dominated by notes of wild herbs and a touch of earthi­ness, accompanied by sour fruits like tart cherries and unripe raspber­ries. On the palate, the wine surprises with a plush and round texture that gives an instant accessibility to the wine. Drink Now - 2034."

"The 2020 Barolo del Comune di Monforte d'Alba is a very serious wine. Deeply pitched notes of balsamic, menthol, licorice, spice, chocolate and blackberry soar out of the glass. A wine of depth and textural drive, the 2020 captures tons of Monforte character. Soft tannins (for a young Barolo) make the 2020 surprisingly-I should say shockingly-accessible. What a wine! Drinking Window: 2025 - 2035."
