Monti 1999 Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)
- $37
Barbera has an uneven record, but the best can be quite impressive, and this is a fine example. From the opening notes to the long finish, it offers loads of cherry, spice and vanilla. Well-balanced, with medium body, soft tannins and good acid, this handsomely crafted wine should provide great drinking over the next two to six years.

Monti 2007 Duemilasette Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Online Exclusive
Monti’s 2007 Barolo opens with a compact, streamlined feel and bright aromas of white cherry, candied orange peel, barbecue smoke, pancetta, cola and licorice. It’s an Old School Barolo that does a very nice job of showcasing Barolo tradition and territory.

Monti 2000 L'Aura White (Langhe)
- $28
Light in color but very flavorful, this Chardonnay-Riesling blend serves up a full nose and mouth of pineapple and spice with light herb accents. Its bright and tangy personality will take the edge off a hot evening—try it with some grilled shrimp or chicken. A touch sweet, it will also have broad appeal.

Monti 2000 Bussia Nebbiolo (Barolo)
Strong oak influence here, with toast, vanilla and scorched wood dominating the nose at this point. But given the wine’s core of cherry fruit, this should come into better balance within a couple of years. Finishes tart, with soft tannins, a short-term ager for the non-oak averse.

Monti 2001 Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)
Cedar and leather combine with dried spices on the nose, only gradually giving way to a bit of cranberry fruit on the palate. It’s a big-boned wine, with plenty of size (alcohol), yet remains crisp thanks to good acidity.

Monti 2006 Bussia Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Online Exclusive
Monti’s Bussia Barolo, from the Monforte d’Alba subzone, opens with an aged, browning color and aromas of apples, wild berries and citrus. The wine shows a lean, thin quality in the mouth.

Monti 1997 Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)
- $35
Deep in color and full of smoked-meat aromas. It’s got Rhône-like character and an odd Chinese spice element to it. Flavors of mushrooms, blackberries and cherries. It’s more big than elegant, more unyielding than open.
