Barolo Monserra 2009 Raineri
Variety: Nebbiolo 100%
Vivid garnet red in various shades.
Over ten years of aging, between wood and bottle, allow a sublime evolution to the nose. The aromas of withered flowers are intense and of great quality, with violet taking pride of place. The classic undergrowth with fallen leaves, moss, chestnuts, finally cinchona and rhubarb. Guodron’s notes begin to show, although they are still timid hints. The aromatic herbs do not disappear and are highlighted in the thyme, and fresh oregano. Noted sweet and spicy spices are added. Excellent evolution for a wine that is perfect.
On the palate it is flawless. Time rewards him, with still well-defined hardness and softness set to perfection. The sip is deep and creamy so as to be harmonious and balanced.
Excellent vintage with a few years of aging it has come to be perfect to drink now. Raineri’s Monserra stands out for being an excellent one Barolo, fully corresponding to the cru (Perno a Monforte) to which it belongs.
