What a divine Barolo he is! A charming contrast to the big, dense, tannic Barolos Monforte is known for! Le Coste emphasizes delicacy, finesse, and high-toned Nebbiolo fruit with perfumy floral notes. Notes include black cherry, forest floor, and gentle rose. The wine is polished and ready to enjoy. Think red and dark fruit, roses, tar, tobacco, with balanced tannins already well-integrated.
While Massimo's Ravera and Mosconi bottlings are more structured and should be cellared, Le Coste serves up its nuances for enjoyment now and over the next several years. This is approachable, elegant Barolo: less austere than many from this village, but with all the character and soul Massimo brings to his wines.
Pairs with: Agnolotti, braised meats, hearty stews, roasted game, aged cheeses.
