Barolo Le Coste di Monforte 2020 Azienda Agricola LaLù
The Barolo Le Coste di Monforte from Azienda Agricola LaLù originates from grapes cultivated in the municipality of Monforte d'Alba, precisely in a small plot located in the MGA Le Coste di Monforte.
In the early years of their journey, Lara and Luisa had the opportunity to acquire some rows of Nebbiolo within the Cru "Le Coste di Monforte", in the lower area of Monforte d'Alba, enabling them to produce the first Barolo. This vineyard extends over 0.3 hectares in the best area, with most of the plants dating back to 1999, situated in a suitable south exposure and at an altitude of about 400 meters. The predominant presence of clay and limestone in this hill gives the wines a remarkable tannic structure.
Fermentations take place entirely in wooden vats spontaneously, without temperature control. After malolactic fermentation, the wine matures in Slavonian oak barrels for 24 months, followed by a period of bottle aging.
With only 2000 units produced, this Barolo offers an enticing aromatic profile of spices and underbrush, accompanied by a enveloping and persistent taste on the finish.
