Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Monica Larner - 31 Aug 18
From a warm, less nuanced vintage, the 2012 Barolo Monvigliero maintains its profound sense of natural elegance and finesse. Those are indeed the trademark characteristics of this (single) vineyard in the Verduno township. The bouquet offers a mix of fruity tones, with plenty of blue flowers and mild spice folded within. Ultimately, this is a very graceful wine from a vintage that has produced flatter and more two-dimensional wines, generally speaking.

The 2012 Barolo Monvigliero is beautifully layered, silky and expressive in the glass. Like many 2012s, the Monvigliero gives the impression it will drink well relatively early, as the aromatics are a touch forward. The classic Monvigliero texture comes through nicely, while beams of tannin extend the finish. Here, too, the wine is a touch compact. The Alessandria wines have traditionally aged very well. It will be interesting to see how the 2012 Monvigliero fares.

Verduno. Just mid ruby with a broad, orange-tinged rim. Perfumed and almost heady cherry nose with a spicy edge. Soft cherry fruit on the palate with a hint of fresh mint and firm, stalky tannins which integrate on the finish. Could be approached now – with food, that is. (WS)

Barolo Vineyard Fine Wine

Barolo

Barolo, the "King of Wines," is a prestigious red from Piedmont, Italy, made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. Known for deep complexity, Barolo offers rich flavours of dark cherries, roses, truffles, and spices, with high acidity and firm tannins. It ages exceptionally well, evolving in depth and nuance. Barolo's diverse terroirs create a range of styles, from powerful to delicate. Top producers include Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Giuseppe Rinaldi, and Marchesi di Barolo, all of whom exemplify Barolo's tradition and quality.
