Tenuta Monolo
Riserva Bramaterra Nebbiolo Blend
Italy
Very good but showing very young. Tobacco, red cherries, spice and so complex but also showing young. Juicy and clean. Tannins are sandy. Needs air.

Feb 10th, 2024Nose is smokey with charcoal, dried cherry, cuban tobacco, spices and florals. Very subdued but expressive at the same time. Needs air as these all do. Lovely wet earth and tree bark. Wonderful density on the aromas and so compact. Killer palate. Loads of concentrated ripe cherries and so silky with velvety sweet tannins. This is so good and maybe the juiciest one i’ve had yet. It’s at that stage of youthful and aged and this has just insane balance and purity. Really terrific acids and length here. The finish is super long and just lingers so much. Awesome and will only improve with air and age. A stunner. Now with air nose is getting honeyed and has cherries galore. Lovely wood shavings as well. Wow is this juicy and so high toned. It’s insane how the fruit is still basically primary. Wow what a wine. So good. This has 25 years ahead of it. Easy. Nose now developing macerated late season cherries. Amazing airy, salty sea air now. Just so complex and has so much aromatic depth. Really elegant and such ripe and juicy tannins. Now many hours into it the elegant is off the charts. A stunning Bramaterra. Really wonderful and expressive fruit.
Nose has not changed much overnight. Maybe more mushroomy. Palate is stunningly elegant and has the. best finesse of any Alto P wine i’ve ever had. 9.6.
