Wine Advocate 93

The Pecchenino 2019 Barolo Le Coste di Monforte (with 4,500 bottles made) reveals a smoky character with campfire ash and toasted spice. At its core, the wine shows dark fruit and plum that dovetails into a medium-thick textural build. You have the structural momentum of the vintage with a more open-knit and accessible side for medium-term drinking.

James Suckling 93

Tar and roses with freshly sliced plums and some cherries. Medium-bodied with racy tannins that are chewy. Juicy underneath. Drink after 2026.
