Tasting Notes
Aroma
The nose is delicate yet
intense, with notes of ripe red berries and fine spices.
Maturation
Around 24 months in oak barrels.
Appearance
Ruby red colour.
Palate
The unmistakably elegant hints of wild strawberry,
rose and cocoa are striking on the palate. The tannins
are rounded, silky and persistent. Every ounce of the
harmony and balance of this cru—one of the Barolo
region’s most special—stands out. The finish reveals
light, fresh and fine spiced notes. All the qualities that
set Barolo Monvigliero apart, lie in its aromatic
complexity and depth of flavour.
Vinification
Grapes harvested by hand on September
30, 2020. This vineyard is historically recognized as
one of the most suitable for whole-grape winemaking
(approx. 60%). The remaining part is destemmed,
crushed and transported into steel tanks for
maceration and alcoholic fermentation. After a few
days of cold pre-fermentation maceration, the
temperature is raised and fermentation begins.
Alcoholic fermentation lasts around 20 days in a steel
tank, in contact with the skins and with regular
pumping-overs. Malolactic fermentation takes place in
wood.
Region Notes
The “Monvigliero” hillside vineyard has long been
considered the most significant cru in Verduno and
one of the most valuable in the entire Barolo
winegrowing region. Mixed soil with limestone and
laminated Marls of S a i n t Agatha and a
south/south-western exposure. Altitude around 240
m asl. The average age of the vines is 65 years and
there is a density of around 4,500 plants per hectare.
