“The 2019 Barolo Monvigliero is a knock-out.  What a wine.  Rich and layered in the glass, with striking textural intensity, the 2019 unfurls beautifully with a bit of coaxing.  All the elements are so well put together for a young wine.  Crushed rose petal, mint, sage, rose petal and sweet pipe tobacco lend striking nuance to this dynamic, vibrant Barolo.  The 2019 is quite simply magnificent.  Its splendor only grows over time.” 

Jeb Dunnuck, 99 Points 

“The 2019 Barolo Monvigliero is produced entirely from whole clusters and is a pale ruby, with a spicy and lifted perfume revealing layers of cinnamon, red berries, tarragon, and white pepper. Medium-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a long finish, this is highly refined, with a Burgundian aesthetic of purity and beautiful concentration. A singular and exceptional wine, drink it over the next few decades.” 

Decanter, 98 Points 

“At the northernmost tip of Barolo, GB Burlotto’s Monvigliero 2019 was harvested around 20 October. Fermented in big oak casks with its own yeasts and whole cluster grapes, it displays the typically elegant style of the MGA. A scented nose of sweet violets, cinnamon, rhubarb and bark of cinchona is fully focused on rooty and earthy notes before a fresh, delicate fruit character of wild strawberry and orange emerges. There’s great concentration on the palate, with super-crisp acidity and elegant velvety tannins. The finish is lifted and refined. Chiselled to perfection.”
