Tasted with Domineco at the winery in Monforte. "Modern" style Barolo, but also one of the pioneers of the region. Riper year but an amazing wine. Dried tea, violets, plum — 10 years ago

More modern style from familia anselma, but ages very well. Adasi is the oldest Monforte vines and Riserva is only made in best vintages. 1996 is easy to drink now. — 11 years ago

They call this Bussia soprana, when monforte and Bussia are combined to make this wine. — 11 years ago

(Tasted at "Del Posto", La Festa del Barolo Masterclass Tasting)
One of my personal Top5 WOTD was Chiara Boschis' 2013 Barolo. Blended with fruit from Barolo (Terlo & Liste), Monforte d'Alba (Mosconi & Ravera) and Serralunga d'Alba (Gabutti & Baudana). I find this Barolo amazing since 2010, when it was first blended, but carried on the name "Via Nuova" (which was earlier a synonym for the "Terlo" MGA, from which the Barolo was made before). In every of these vintage Chiara imho managed to made an ultra high quality wine with the nuances of the vintage and a use of barrique how I love it. So the 2013 comes across very beguiling with tons of dark red fruit, red flowers and plenty of tannins. Sexy & elegant (less than the "Cannubi" though) but still a brawny powerful with a wine with muscles. — 7 years ago

I had the wonderful experience of tasting the Villero Cru and the Bussia Cru side by side. 2010 looks like it was a very good year in Monforte. A little more constrained than the Bussia but should really bloom in a couple of years. — 10 years ago

Ahhhhhh, this wine has all the floral, tar and depth of a well aged Barolo from Monforte D'Alba...15 years for the 99 vintage really works! 99 was a colder summer and has matured slowly with true complexity! — 11 years ago

For the $40 something price, that is a glorious, say it again, glorious bottle of wine. That is the kind of wine you invite friends over to enjoy. — 9 years ago

Christian Miner

9.0

Intense ruby red coloured, fresh to the nose with mature fruits; prunes and blueberries, licorice and notes of aromatic herbs like eucalyptus. The evident tannin and harmony confirm the grand character that is undeniably the terroir of Monforte. — 9 years ago
