{"product_id":"fortemasso-barolo-del-comune-di-monforte-dalba-docg-750ml","title":"FORTEMASSO BAROLO DEL COMUNE DI MONFORTE D'ALBA DOCG 750ML","description":"\u003cp\u003eSourced from estate-owned vineyards within the Castelletto MGA in Monforte d'Alba, at 360–450 metres elevation on steep, south-easterly slopes of Arenaria di Diano sandstone soils. This is ForteMasso's communale-level Barolo — a Denominazione Comunale bottling using fruit from the lower section of their Castelletto vineyard, where the sandy soils characteristic of the MGA transition toward siltier compositions closer in character to neighbouring Serralunga d'Alba. Hand-harvested into small crates, the wine undergoes 25–30 days of skin maceration with submerged cap, followed by 24 months in 25-hectolitre oak barrels and a further 14–16 months of bottle ageing before release. Crafted in ForteMasso's contemporary style, emphasising energy, freshness and drinkability — positioned as an accessible, by-the-glass Barolo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-intensity ruby red with slight garnet highlights, typical of young Barolo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Expressive and broad, with red fruit, cherry and plum aromas layered with vanilla, light floral notes of rose, and a distinctive closing note of incense.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light-bodied for Barolo but full and harmonious, with bright fruit, notable savouriness, and Castelletto's characteristic balsamic freshness.
