Community Tasting Note

    September 2, 2020 - This is an awfully pretty wine and a unicorn by another definition: a barolo with Chambolle sympathy. This is not an angry or austere barolo. You cannot even taste the 14.5% alcohol. That big nose of strawberries, fruit and flowers hits you immediately. The palate has a core of ripe strawberry and cherry essence. There is some earthiness. The fruit here is so soft! Softer than the recent renditions of Monvigliero that I can remember. The wine has intense flavor, but is very seamless and is so soft. I am not an expert, but it strikes me Fabio is taking barolo to new frontiers. I cannot imagine any other producer's Monvigliero cloning what Fabio has achieved here for some time.

    9/3/20, 6:23 PM - It'll be interesting to taste the Vietti Monvigliero in 2018+, to see how much of the Burlotto Monvigliero is specific producer signature vs. the vineyard + whole cluster. The initial barrel sample tasting notes on the '18 Vietti seem encouraging, suggesting it's pretty finessed/some similarities in flavor profile.
