Barolo Le Coste di Monforte Piero Benevelli

Piero Benevelli planted his first five hectares in Monforte d`Alba in 1978; his son Massimo now makes the wine. Le Coste comes from south-southeast-facing plots in the steep Le Coste amphitheatre, on iron-rich clay marl, with a long, traditional maceration and ageing in large casks. Antonio Galloni gave the 2016 95 points: gorgeous.
