The 1964 vintage is regarded as one of the all-time great years in Barolo, producing wines of extraordinary balance and longevity, and this Monfortino Riserva is a timeless expression of that pedigree. Now six decades old, it shows a brick-garnet hue with orange reflections, a testament to its age and noble evolution. The bouquet is profound, with layers of dried cherry, rose petals, truffle, leather, cedar, and sweet pipe tobacco, accented by hints of balsamic herbs and earth. On the palate, it remains remarkably vibrant, with a fine-boned structure, silky tannins, and flavors of mature red fruits, dried fig, forest floor, and savory spice, all unfolding with remarkable length. This is not merely a wine, but a living piece of Barolo history—capturing the essence of traditional winemaking at its pinnacle and offering a once-in-a-lifetime tasting experien

Founded in 1908 in Monforte d’Alba, Giacomo Conterno is one of the most revered names in Italian wine, celebrated as the guardian of traditional, long-lived Barolo. The estate’s philosophy—established by founder Giacomo and perfected by his son Giovanni—centers on meticulous vineyard selection, late harvesting for maximum ripeness, extended macerations, and patient aging in large Slavonian oak casks. The jewel in the estate’s crown is Monfortino, first produced in 1924, and made only in the finest vintages from exceptional fruit. Under the stewardship of Roberto Conterno, the estate has maintained its uncompromising standards, crafting wines that combine immense structure, depth, and longevity, making them some of the most collectible in the world.
