The 1978 vintage in Piedmont was exquisite, and this rarity is a stellar mature interpretation of the season. The Monfalletto vineyard, located in La Morra, is known for yielding elegant Barolos with balanced power and finesse. After decades of aging, this Barolo likely exhibits complex tertiary notes of dried red fruits, tobacco, leather, and earth, with well-integrated tannins and a lingering finish. It represents the classic style of traditional Barolo from a standout year.
