This wine was very easy to recognise. Since I brought the Monvigliero, I kept quiet, but from the first sniff, I was sure it was my wine in the glass. Soon enough, everyone began asking if I had brought the Monvigliero. Its unique style certainly stood out in a more classic selection. Opinions may vary, but it doesn't bother me, especially considering my limited experience with Barolo.
What can I say? There's no need to rush! The last time I tasted this wine, it wasn't decanted, and I drank it quickly, missing its beauty and depth. But now? It reveals a beautiful and delicate aroma, somewhat perfumed, with notes of stewed wild strawberries, a wet forest, and a very subtle hint of pickles. There's also a touch of milk chocolate and moss emerging. It's delicate, ethereal, perfectly balanced, and incredibly long. It is truly a joy to drink this wine. It may not be typical for the region, but it's wonderfully beautiful!
Complex, with a hint of muscle. Unfolds a sophisticated tapestry of cherry, wild strawberry, and wet forest floor, adding old leather, chili pepper, and violets as the night rolls on. Balance is nearly spot on; it's juicy with a tinge of tannin grit. It's multilayered and persistent. An evolution you want to be part of. Good now, but give it a few, and this could morph from rugged to regal.
