    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    A dry stony quality complements the deep but resonant fruit. Flowing but brisk with a cool intensity of black cherry and red plum fruit, a grapefruit touch and a heady floral note. Flavours float readily across the palate whilst the firm structural spine gives the wine definition and solidity. Superb. The white chalk and sandy soils, the sun-blanched amphitheatre in which it sits and its proximity to the river make this one of the great and most distinctive Crus of Barolo. After 25 days on the skins post fermentation the wine is aged for 3 years in large wooden vats.

    Antonio Galloni,

    The 2016 Barolo Monvigliero is a total knock-out. A burst of sweet red berry fruit, mint, pine and red berry fruit give the Monvigliero its effusive aromatic presence. A Barolo of tremendous pedigree, the Alessandria’s Monvigliero is sure to put a smile on the face of Piedmont lovers. Although it is very young, the 2016 is off the charts gorgeous. It is everything first rate Barolo can and should be. The 2016 is to die for. Don’t miss it.
