Tasting Notes
Antonio Galloni 96
The 2017 Barolo Monvigliero is such a classy wine. Light on its feet and beautifully perfumed, the Monvigliero is superb. The whole clusters are very nicely integrated. Rose petal, mint, sage and bright red berry fruit all run through this supremely gracious, deceptively mid-weight wine. It will almost certainly gain in volume over the coming year. As always, Monvigliero is done with 100% stems.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2042
Vinous 96
The 2017 Burlotto Monvigliero is a stunning beauty. Suave and sophisticated, the 2017 is powerfully aromatic and completely harmonious. Attractive floral aromatics, cool-toned berry fruit and blood-orange-like citrus tones spring from the glass with real gusto, but it s the wine s textural seamlessness that impresses most. As usual, the Monvigliero was vinified with 100% whole clusters, adding palpable lift and texture. The 2017 is very approachable and persistent today, the tannins receding ever so slightly to provide an upright spine to the borderline-plush fruit. Gorgeous.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2037
