Burlotto’s 2013 Barolo Monvigliero is a wine I like to serve at dinners like this one, as I know most people may never taste it, which is a shame. Of course, the 2013 is young, but its profound greatness is evident in the early going, The interplay of aromatics, fruit and structure really brings out the stunning beauty of the Monvigliero cru. The 2013 is simply a phenomenal wine and a towering achievement from Fabio Alessandria. 11/2019

The 2013 Barolo Monvigliero is indeed a special wine that excels in terms of elegance and ethereal momentum. It's impossible to ignore its charm and seductive powers. This wine was released one year ago, but the folks at Comm. G.B. Burlotto preferred not to send samples for review at that time. I was able to taste this beautiful wine during my visit to the estate this year. This vintage of Monvigliero glides smooth and high over the senses, imparting fine notes of cassis, wild berry and anise seed. There is a lasting note of white truffle with tangy ginger and rhubarb. The wine offers volume and largess in the mouth with substantial textural fiber. The bright acidity adds energy and zest to the finish. This wine dances with the grace and muscle of a centerstage ballerina. 06/2018

A medium ruby hue, the 2013 Barolo Monvigliero offers up savory aromas of black olive, cinnamon, and grenadine. Medium-bodied and floral throughout, it has refined tannins and is graceful and elegant, with a stony mouthfeel. It is in a beautiful place for drinking now or over the coming ten or so years. 05/2023

Fascinating aromas of crushed cherries, strawberries and sandalwood follow through to a full body, firm and silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Very pretty wine. Finesse here. Drink or hold. 01/2017
