Good Italian option from Upper Falls — 3 months ago
The 2020 Barolo Le Coste di Monforte is redolent of iron, game, incense, scorched earth, blood orange, dark fruit and tobacco. A potent, strapping Barolo, the 2020 is certainly not for the timid. It offers tons of Monforte power, brawn and muscle. A few years in the cellar is an absolute must. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2024)

I thought this was amazing. Great nose, flavors and finish. Loved the entire glass. And when they gave me the remnants even better. So close to WOTN. — 6 months ago
A very unusual wine.
Nose: Malvasia but elegant. Floral. Tropical. Nice brine.
Palate: lightly tropical. But big mineraliaty. Good acidity.
Great briny finish.
A great pick. — 7 months ago
This was a purchase from last bottle so I figured I would give it a try. Darker color than expected. Nice taste longer than I like taste. But overall very good. Look forward to purchasing more Barolo from this vineyard. — a month ago
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!

Medium rubi colour, like a pinot noir. Very reticent nose of crushed flowers ans dar cherries. Tannic and reticent in the mouth, long and elegant, you decant first or give it another 4 to 5 years in bottle. Great barolo done in classical fashion. — 8 days ago
