The 2021 Lalù Barolo Le Coste di Monforte is a beautifully refined and classically styled Barolo from the renowned commune of Monforte d’Alba in Piemonte. Crafted in a traditional yet approachable style, the wine combines Nebbiolo’s lifted aromatics and fine tannin structure with the depth and mineral tension typical of Monforte. The nose reveals red cherry, dried rose and blood orange layered alongside sweet spice, dried herbs and subtle earthy notes, giving the wine impressive elegance and complexity.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine, chalky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and beautifully focused red berry fruit. Layers of cherry, cranberry and savoury spice are balanced by mineral freshness and gentle earthy depth, finishing long, poised and finely structured with excellent balance and ageing potential.
