Tasting notes
The 2001 Barolo Etereo (made from Monforte fruit and aged in 100% new oak for 30 months) displays a floral, perfumed nose with sweet and charred aromas of toasted oak. Notes of ripe dark red fruits, tar, smoke and licorice complement this delicate, medium-bodied effort which should start to drink well in another year or two and last until at least age 15. It is a very accessible wine for a Monforte Barolo of this vintage.
