Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Nov 18
The 2014 Barolo Monvigliero has really tightened up after its recent bottling. Today, what comes through is an unusually potent, virile expression of Monvigliero, rather than the more aromatic, perfumed style that is typical of both this site and wine. Readers should expect a brooding, classically austere Barolo that is going to need a number of years to unwind.

The 2014 Barolo Monvigliero is the top-shelf expression from this storied estate in Verduno. This is a compact and firm red wine with a delicate delivery of aromas. It starts off with red currant, spice, mild tobacco and powdered licorice. There are pretty floral tones of rose hip and lavender that are characteristic of this celebrated vineyard cru. Only 6,000 bottles were made.

Verduno. Tasted blind. Lustrous mid ruby. Fine but brooding. Perfumed cherry fruit with bittersweet powdery tannins. Plenty of substance and juice. Long, tannic finish. (WS)

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.
