I was surprised to see how much Burlotto’s 2018 Barolo Monvigliero has shut down. That won’t be an issue in time, when the 2018 is actually ready to drink, if anything the wine’s reticence suggests it is going to have a very bright future. It is impressive, but not as inviting as I had hoped. 12/2022

Within the context of this set of new releases from Comm. G.B. Burlotto, this wine stands far apart. The 2018 Barolo Monvigliero is linear and light, but it also shows good fruit weight. This is exactly the classic duality of Monvigliero (a village that traditionally incorporates whole clusters in fermentation). Spice, cola, licorice, grilled herb and dried cherry appear to lift over a fine and delicately tapered mouthfeel. 06/2022

The 2018 Barolo Monvigliero is irresistible with its expressive perfume of wildflowers, cinnamon, grenadine, and incense. This medium-bodied Barolo offers ultra-fine tannins that coax through the palate, with an even arch of vibrant fruit, crushed stones, and spice. This beautifully seductive wine harkens to the graceful nature of villages such as Chambolle in Burgundy with its incredible finesse, yet it is not lacking in structure. Drink 2023-2043. 05/2023
