Note di degustazione
Here's an exciting new project from Poderi Luigi Einaudi that I have been looking forward to tasting ever since I learned this historic winery was lucky enough to secure fruit in what is surely the most sought-after MGA in the appellation, Monvigliero in Verduno. The 2019 Barolo Monvigliero Stefano Arienti 125 Anniversary Collection (with a minimalist artistic front label) needs time to open because the wine is rather closed on first nose. With coaxing and patience, it eventually opens to pressed rose, iris root, white licorice and wild berry. The tannins are grippy and tight. I went back to taste this wine several times from an open bottle over the course of 24 hours. Production is 10,300 bottles.

Verduno. Just mid ruby. Cool rhubarb and raspberry nose. Focused and concentrated raspberry fruit on the palate and perfectly balanced by supple acidity and fine, chewy tannins. Could be a little finer, but it is already a big step up from the 2018 version in terms of complexity. (WS)
The 2019 Barolo Monvigliero exudes depth and character. Like all of these Barolos, the 2019 is quite austere in the early going. Time in the glass brings out the wine's natural volume and a good bit of whole cluster savoriness as well. The 2019 is very clearly an infant, but it is quite promising. Dried herbs, rose petal, mint, sage and dried herbs lend aromatic presence to this super-expressive Barolo.
Mid ruby with a complex, rather light nose but juicy black-fruit flavours and some powerful smokiness on the palate. Quite long. (JR)
