This wine is a food and wine pearl of its region, but also a real treasure with its mind-boggling price. You’ll never guess how much it costs

They call it the “king of wines” but also the “wine of kings” and there is more than a simple reason for having such a name. Barolo is one of excellences of Piedmontese and Italian viticulture, an elegant, powerful, persistent wine with a broad bouquet.
To get your hands on the best vintages of this flagship of our production, you spend crazy amounts, much more than you might believe. If you have any suspicions, just look at the price of a bottle of Barolo Monfortino Riserva Conterno 2010.
We specify that it is one Jeroboam that is, a bottle of expensive nectar of the gods with a capacity of 3 liters, corresponding to 4 normal bottles. This treasure has a selling price exceeding 15,000 euros16,000 to be precise on sale on wine shop sites.

With an investment of 16,000 euros you will be able to purchase a collectible wine that is now 14 years old. Aging is precisely one of the characteristics of this wine and its grape variety, Nebbiolo.
Barolo is in fact obtained exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes, a prized vine and faithful narrator of its territory.
The production specification for Barolo DOCG establishes that the wine must be subjected to a minimum aging period of 38 months, of which 18 are made of wood. The months become at least 62, of which 18 are always in wood for the Barolo reserve.
Intense, with a full and harmonious taste, Barolo is a journey for the taste buds. In the case of the Barolo Monfortino Riserva Conterno 2010, a very expensive journey to combine with truffle-based first courses and important second courses; as long as you intend to uncork the bottle.
A wine of this quality should be preserved very jealously, rather than in a safe.
