Wine Description

Monfortino is produced only in years Roberto Conterno considers exceptional, from Nebbiolo grown in the Serralunga d’Alba crus of Cascina Francia and, from 2020, with a portion from Arione. The 2020 vintage draws on approximately 85% Francia fruit and 15% Arione, all 100% Nebbiolo. Fermentation takes place without temperature control and with an extended maceration of 40 to 50 days, followed by six to seven years of ageing in large Slavonian oak botti before bottling. The 2020 growing season featured an extended vegetative cycle, cool nights, and a late September harvest, producing riper, more resolved tannins than the preceding vintage. The wine will require considerable further cellaring to show its full potential.

    Before you ask

    How do I get this wine?

    Press "REQUEST THIS WINE" and tell us how many bottles you would like and where they should go. We reply by email with the current price, the vintage we hold and the shipping cost to your country.

    Do you ship to my country?

    Yes. Every bottle leaves from Venice, to Italy, the rest of Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States and most other countries. We quote the shipping cost with the price.

    Who pays the customs duties?

    For the United States we pay the duties, not you. Inside the European Union there are none. Elsewhere the local authority decides and the buyer pays.

    How are the bottles packed?

    In certified isothermal, temperature controlled packaging. A damaged bottle is reported within 14 days of delivery, with photographs of box and bottle.

    Can I collect it in Venice?

    Yes, at our wine shop in San Polo, a few minutes from the Rialto Bridge. The price on this page is the take away and shipping price; at the wine bar tables bottles are served from the bar list.
