Monvigliero Barolo Nebbiolo

Incredibly smooth and highly perfumed modern barolo. Drinks beautifully now, the Nebbiolo character comes true in the after burn. Will be interesting how this develops over the next 10 years. Incredibly fine tannins.

Vintage 2019 | perfumed smell, clearly impressions of a stable smell, very earthy taste. Good Barolo but not my taste.

Has the structure and acid, just needs the age

Madness you say to drink a 2013 Alessandria Monvigliero so young. Decant got it in good shape & grilled pork shoulder really brought it home. Beautiful bottle of wine on Saturday night in the big town.

Preserved, maraschino cherries. Classy. Reserved. Unity.

A lighter, elegant style of Barolo that needed some air to show dried cherry, spice, rose petal & tobacco leaf

Needed some air to open that was elegant & floral in the Monvigliero style.

Needed air to open showing more of an elegant style

Five hours in the decanter to “break on through”. Plenty of acid, tannins—crystal ball says long life ahead of these. Good fruit, eucalyptus notes, slate, cedar. Tannic finish with a hint of heat. Lovely, but definitely resist the urge for another ten years. Enjoyed as birthday wine with chicken liver ragù.

Not quite the level of Burlotto but a delicious Monvigliero that was elegant & floral showing tart cherry, strawberry, mineral, dried herb spices & rose petal.
