Note di degustazione
Only a handful of producers have access to this very exciting MGA in Verduno. The Fratelli Alessandria 2020 Barolo Monvigliero shows added complexity with a note of cola or balsam herb that lifts above wild berry and cassis. There are floral notes in this warm vintage, but they lean into pressed violet and dry rose instead of fresh flowers. This expression has extra concentration and even a hint of stemmy bitter fruit that should iron out with time.

On pouring, the 2020 Barolo Monvigliero appears paler in the glass compared to the others tasted in this vertical of Monvigliero, but it opens to become spicy, bright, and complete, with notes of strawberries, spice, fresh flowers, cinnamon, and dusty earth. A great wine with the most distinct sense of place, it offers a tightrope of fine tannins, a snappy spine of acidity, and a long finish, with a fresh, balanced, and age-worthy feel as well as savory, mouthwatering tension and mineral undercurrents. Drink it over the next 20 years.
The 2020 Barolo Monvigliero is an attractive, light-bodied wine. It is graced with crushed flowers, tobacco, mint, dried cherry and cedar. Monvigliero is always a lighter Barolo, but the 2020 comes across as a bit more ethereal than the norm.
Verduno. Cask sample. Palish youthful ruby. Subtle, aromatic nose hinting at balsamic raspberry, cardamom and stony, minerally notes. Supple and generous palate that is not fully open yet. Very long, juicy and still embryonic and with fantastic fine, gravelly tannins on the finish. Complete, but will need time to develop in the bottle. (WS)
