From the moment it was released, 2013 Monfortino was coveted, quickly settling into a price range of $1000 to $1500 a bottle.

Even fewer could offer the wine in still-sealed original cases. That's what we have here.

Antonio Galloni: “99 rating ... brilliant, precise, focused and nuanced, with the classic sense of austerity it has always shown from barrel. In the 2013, readers will find a biting, vibrant Monfortino built along super-classic lines that includes vintages like 1996 and 1999, but the 2013 has more finesse that is the result of a the slight refinements and evolution that have taken place here over the last decade .... (Drink between 2023-2063)“
