Tasting Notes

This Barolo opens with red cherry, raspberry, violet, rose, mint, licorice, balsamic spice, tobacco, cocoa, and fresh herbal notes. The palate is elegant and full-bodied, with supple density, polished tannins, bright acidity, savory earth, and a lingering finish that balances freshness with classic Barolo depth.

Food Paring

Pair this classic Barolo with beef, lamb, pasta, game, braised meats, or aged cheeses to complement its structured Nebbiolo tannins and savory depth. It is a polished choice for special dinners, especially with rich Piedmontese dishes and slow-cooked red meat preparations that highlight its floral lift and earthy complexity.

Professional Reviews

96 Luca Gardini

"La Morra—one of the estate’s signature wines—crafted with impeccable precision and balance. It offers aromas of Pecetto cherry, with nuances of marjoram and hints of mandarin zest. On the palate, it is saline and iodine-rich, with notes of red fruit and a finish with a slight citrus touch. (Oct 2025)"

95 Kerin O'Keefe

"Made with grapes from the estate's vineyards in La Morra, including Gattera, the 2021 Monfalletto opens with alluring scents of violet, rose, Alpine herb and dark spice. Full-bodied and loaded with class, the elegant, savory palate offers ripe Marasca cherry, cranberry, blood orange and licorice alongside taut, polished tannins and bright acidity. Drink: 2028–2036. (Feb 2025)"

95 James Suckling

"An intense, deep, vibrant wine full of spicy aromas of mint, licorice, balsamic, eucalyptus, dried violets and prunes. The attack is supple and dense, with a full body, refreshing acidity and firm tannins that are velvety and refined. Still austere in the finish, with the potential for aging. Try from 2027. (Jan 2025)"

93 Wine Enthusiast

"Dark cherries and ripe forest fruits emerge with brooding intensity, showing Monfalletto's robust personality. The wine flexes its muscles across the palate, where dusty tannins build steadily before exploding on the finish, demonstrating a powerful yet controlled expression of Barolo's classic structure. Drink from 2027 (Nov 2025)"
