The 2008 is the aromatic, perfumed expression of Monprivato—a south-facing monopole vineyard in Castiglione Falletto with soils that produce wines of great floral complexity. This vintage showcases dusty minerality, bright cherry, and crushed stone, with silky textures and an unusually fresh, classy demeanor. The wine is detailed and elegant on the palate, with licorice, spice, and inner floral tones that unfold over a long finish. Traditional fermentation and aging in large oak creates a wine of harmony and subtlety.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 96
"The 2008 Barolo Monprivato (magnum) remains a wine of total finesse. Deeply pitched aromatics give the 2008 its decidedly exotic flair. Blood orange, mint, hard candy and bright red-toned fruit all play in that same register, showing striking inner sweetness and tons of sheer allure. The 2008 has always been captivating. It is all that and more on this evening." -Antonio Galloni

Wine Spectator

WS 95
"Detailed and fragrant, offering floral, strawberry, cherry, licorice and spice flavors, this is elegant and underlined by a strong mineral streak. Well-proportioned, picking up intensity and complexity on the long, savory finish. Extremely fresh and classy."

Kerin O'Keefe

WE 96
"One of Barolo's most iconic bottlings, this shows breeding and elegance despite the extreme heat of the vintage. A beautiful fragrance of red rose, violet and perfumed berry accompanies a whiff of cake spices. The silky palate delivers succulent wild cherry, licorice, white pepper and cinnamon impeccably balanced by supple tannins and fresh acidity." -Kerin O'Keefe
