A traditional Monforte Barolo from one of the appellation's quieter, classier names. Diego Conterno — a Monforte vigneron who was a co-founder of Conterno-Fantino in 1982 (with Claudio Conterno and Guido Fantino) before leaving in 2000 — produced his first wines under his own label in 2003 from his Monforte d'Alba estate, with son Stefano now alongside. Le Coste di Monforte is a single MGA sitting on classic Monforte soils, and 2019 is a benchmark Barolo vintage: ripe but cool-nerved, with patience baked in. Long macerations and big Slavonian oak give a wine of old-school cut and clarity — sour cherry, dried rose, tar and a fine grip of tannin. Drink it now over slow-braised meats or stash it for a decade; it'll reward either choice. Among the best values in serious Monforte Barolo today.

"The 2019 Barolo Le Coste di Monforte is a gorgeous, exotic, intriguing wine. Dried flowers, mint, lavender, spice, tobacco and incense are all beautifully delineated. Ample and vibrant, with tons of depth, the 2019 is absolutely compelling today. The 2019 offers tons of Le Coste power, and a good deal of finesse as well." —Antonio Galloni

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Made for braised short ribs, brasato al Barolo, wild mushroom risotto, agnolotti del plin, or aged hard cheeses like Castelmagno and Parmigiano. Big enough for grilled red meats with rosemary.

Tasting Profile

Sour cherry, dried rose petal, tar, leather and forest floor. Old-school structure: fine-grained but firm tannins, bright acidity, a savory mid-palate, and the long, almost austere finish that traditional Monforte does so well.
