Barolo, Monvigliero, 2020

A gorgeous, pliant and striking Monvigliero – lifted and aromatic, with a thrum of slender red plums and flowers, so easy to love. From two parcels facing southeast and south. Monvigliero is one of the Langhe’s greatest sites, one that has benefitted from a huge surge in renown over the past twenty years. Dubbed “The Watchtower” of Barolo, it is the northernmost MGA, facing primarily south in a steep, amphitheatre formation. The soils are drier, looser and whiter than its neighbours, producing typically medium bodied, highly finessed Barolos paler in colour with a full range of floral and spicy notes.
