Monvigliero Barolo Nebbiolo

The 2019 Barolo Monvigliero is a gorgeous wine that marries the classicism of this site with the bright, forward fruit that is such a signature of the Scavino style. Freshly-cut roses, kirsch, mint, cinnamon and blood orange race across the palate, supported by vibrant acids and veins of sinewy tannin. This seems to call for at least a few years in bottle. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2024)

fresh bright red raspberry, dark chocolate, black cherry, leather, gorgeous. more floral as it opens. natural yeast ferment. Verduno commune.

Earth, mineral. Rustic.

Initially quite nice, but shut down behind a wall of tannin after an hour or so. I’ll try to keep away from my remaining bottle for 20 years or so.

Perfumed, earthy / softer entry but develops over the palate / leather, blond tobacco, rose

Tasting group 2nd, my 5th place. Blind. Much darker than the other wines. Green wood, peppermint candy. Full mouth. Odd greeness, green olives. Not clean. Astringent.

Well integrated, polished tannins. Lacking detail and energy at this age; clear fruit expression still eddying beneath the oak.

A little faded but still nice

Propi bunn!!!

Popped and poured. 92+.. Nose was pretty reticent but with a lot of coaxing I got some Hints of sweet cherry, tobacco, roses. Palate was soft silky with medium length.. A touch of heat.. Revisit in 5 years..
