ForteMasso Nebbiolo Langhe comes from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, we are talking about a wine that best reflects the fruity characteristics of the vine, all thanks to the careful processing that brings out a great taste balance that facilitates gastronomic pairing.

The 2019 Barolo Ravera di Monforte is a powerful, searing wine. Red cherry fruit, leather, cedar, mint, iron, white pepper and dried flowers build in a mid-weight, tannic Barolo that is going to need time to be at its best. There is good tension and energy, but my impression is that the 2019 is recovering from its bottling, as it is very tight and sinewy in feel today.
