Le Coste di Monforte | Barolo MGA

Le Coste di Monforte is located in the southernmost, eastern part of the municipality of Monforte d'Alba and, together with Ravera di Monforte, forms a single ridge: one side faces northwest towards Mosconi, while the other, slightly more favourably positioned side faces southeast towards the Alta Langa, at altitudes between 370 and 500 metres. The soil consists of sandy Sant'Agata Fossili marl, with occasional Diano sandstone.

This slope receives relatively little attention from producers, even though, according to experts, its soil and position deserve more. The wines that do reach the market generally have good substance and intensity, although they rarely match the character of neighbouring MGAs such as Mosconi, Ginestra or Ravera di Monforte.
