Tasting notes
With fruit from the Verduno area, the 2010 Barolo Monvigliero shows extra spice and red fruit with a good sense of structure and persistency at the back. They acquired this one-hectare parcel in 2007 with 47-year-old vines. The site characteristics underline exotic nuances of spice or aged tea leafs. The tannin is present but silky and polished. This wine boasts its own unique personality. Drink: 2017-2030. Various American importers.

Verduno. Mid ruby with orange rim. Fine, fragrant but backward nose. Supple palate with rich, grainy tannins. Lots of concentration, but not ready by far. (WS)
Verduno. Mid ruby with the first signs of orange. A touch medicinal at first but the fruit power is evident. Very compact and reluctant on the palate. Lots of concentration on the finish but the elegant Verduno style is clearly brought out. Coating, rich tannins. A little dry for the moment but will gain. (WS)
A round, supple Barolo, the 2010 Barolo Monvigliero is beautifully expressive. Today the Monvigliero is incredibly primary and intense, especially in its fruit, while the typical Monvigliero notes aren't fully developed. The 2010 is going to need some time to come together, but it is a beauty. With time in the glass some of the more floral and savory notes that are typical of this site begin to emerge, but only with great reluctance. Today the Monvigliero impresses for its texture, silkiness and exceptional overall balance.
