Barolo, Monvigliero, 2013

An inviting mix of aromatic Asian spices and floral dark fruits. Wonderfully balanced and rounded. A tight, chalky texture initially, fanning out to generous, sweet bramble and hedgerow berry fruits. Measured and well-defined but there is something incredibly sumptuous about it, too. From a fine vineyard at 310 metres altitude in the Verduno commune with a south / south east exposure with a special micro climate close to the river where there are big day /night temperature differences. A very distinctive personality, powerful but polished, fresh and finely balanced. Only 5000 bottles were made.
