2017 Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barolo Monvigliero

Community Tasting Note

MC2 Wines Likes this wine:

Wednesday, November 30, 2022 - Piemonte: Back to the truffling!; 11/24/2022-12/3/2022 (Wineries and various restaurants): Our first Monvigliero of the trip which feels a bit like a miss but there is not so much of it around or to go around these days. It’s the classic stem-character - perhaps tea leaves, great fruit, more interesting and then just very light on its feet. Bright with a lot of depth of flavor. Always a favorite.
