1970 Giacomo Conterno Barolo & Barolo Riserva Monfortino
BY ANTONIO GALLONI |
Giacomo Conterno’s 1970 Barolo Riserva Monfortino is one of my very favorite wines. When Il Professore told me he might bring a bottle to dinner, I didn’t think he actually would, much less show up with a bottle of the 1970 Barolo also in tow. But, so he did! Top flight Barolo has become so coveted that some wines are rarely seen these days, and when they are, it is often part of a larger tasting. It was a real treat to drink rather than just taste these wines with just one other person over a leisurely dinner.
