Barolo Le Coste di Monforte Piero Benevelli 2017 (750ML)

94 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "“Benevelli's 2017 Barolo Le Coste di Monforte is complex and inviting. Iron, white pepper, mint and dried leaves give the 2017 an aromatic profile that is quite distinctive. This powerhouse Monforte Barolo offers plenty of intensity and structure in a super-classic, austere style that is sure to find many admirers. Its translucent personality and nuance are both evident from the get-go. Massimo Benevelli’s 2017 Barolos are powerhouses. These firm, classically built Barolos convey all the power and tannic heft of Monforte d’Alba. Readers should plan on being patient, as the 2017s are real bruisers.” 09/21

90 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiat: "Aromas of violet, cedar and scorched earth emerge from the glass. The solid palate offers baked plum, sage and mocha alongside dusty, rather drying tannins. Drink 2023–2029." 12/21
