95 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com: "Made with grapes from the estate’s vineyards in La Morra, including Gattera, the 2021 Monfalletto opens with alluring scents of violet, rose, Alpine herb and dark spice. Full-bodied and loaded with class, the elegant, savory palate offers ripe Marasca cherry, cranberry, blood orange and licorice alongside taut, polished tannins and bright acidity. Drink 2028–2036. Abv: 14.5%" 02/25

Antonio Galloni

93 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2021 Barolo Monfalletto is gorgeous. Deep, pliant and expressive, the 2021 has a lot to offer. I would give this a few years in the cellar, as it is quite concentrated and deep. Black cherry, leather, spice, incense and licorice build nicely, leading to a rich, sumptuous finish. The Monfalletto is a beautiful, highly pleasing Barolo. All it needs is a bit of time to shed some of its considerable baby fat." 01/25

Alberto Cordero di Montezemolo’s 2020 Barolos are impressive. As always, Cordero likes to bleed the musts, which results in wines that have a bit more concentration than those of his neighbors. Aging for the single vineyard wines is relatively short at 18 months, while the Monfalletto spends more time in wood, as it is a much larger production wine that is blended from multiple lots. The Gattera, all Michet clone Nebbiolo taken from two spots in the vineyard, is especially impressive.
