Tasting Notes

16
Jancis Robinson Walter Speller - 26 Oct 22
Full bottle 1,199 g. Verduno. On its 125th anniversary now in 2022, Einaudi comes out with its maiden vintage of Monvigliero, a 1.5-hectare plot acquired in 2018 and just released. Barely mid ruby and nobly pale. Quite ripe nose with a suggestion of dried fruit and just an idea of tar. It is undeniably attractive but at the same time seems already a little sped-up in its evolution. Rose hip, cherry and a hint of oak and wet, dark earth. Supple red fruit with soft, grainy tannins becoming more prominent on the finish. A bit simple, it must be said, but this is the first try so probably much more to come in the future. (WS)
