Note di degustazione
Made with whole-cluster fermentation, the Comm. G.B. Burlotto 2016 Barolo Monvigliero opens to distinctive intensity with floral notes backed by forest berry and bramble. Including the grape stems in fermentation imparts a slightly herbaceous character with eucalyptus and balsam herb. I also pick up on some freshly milled white pepper that reminds me of the Nebbiolo-adjacent Pelaverga grape that is also commonly planted in Verduno. The wine opens slowly to reveal grilled herbs, toasted chia seed and pistachio nut. More than obvious fruit, the core of the wine offers wild rose, lavender and pressed flowers. Production is approximately 8,000 bottles.

Verduno. 3,700 bottles produced. Whole-bunch fermentation. Enticing deep nose with exotic, spicy notes and fantastic concentration of cherry fruit, but more deep than sweet or overdone. Succulent and a little vibrant, with a slow opening of the fruit on the palate and with fine, grainy, long, tactile tannins on a slow and deep finish. Perfect balance. (WS)
The 2016 Barolo Monvigliero from Comm. G.B. Burlotto is a total stunner. Floral, deep and so expressive, the 2016 captures all the best the vintage and this great site had to offer. Readers lucky enough to own the 2016 can enjoy it now, although further cellaring will only bring out more nuance and complexity. Magnificent.
