Barolo Monvigliero

Italy
Piedmont
2020

Monvigliero is arguably the most important cru of Verduno and Fratelli Alessandria has some of the biggest holdings there, 1.4ha.  Exposures are South to Southwest, 250-310m.   High average vine age of 45 years. Made similarly to the Barolo San Lorenzo.  Monvigliero exalts the beguiling florality and spice that are Verduno’s calling card.  First produced in 1978. 6,500 bottles made.

"“This has a fragrant, inviting nose with chocolate cherry, dried orange peel, hints of sandalwood and crushed stones. Medium-bodied and so tense and vibrant on the palate with vivid acidity. Tight and dusty, but already delicious.”"
