Monvigliero is Verduno's crown jewel—a south-facing amphitheater of ancient fossilized marl that produces Barolo with Burgundian grace: more floral and perfumed than powerful. Vietti, one of Piedmont's most storied houses (the family produced their first single-vineyard Barolo in 1961), debuted their Monvigliero bottling with the 2018 vintage, making this 2019 only the second release. The vines average forty-four years old, planted in Sant'Agata Marl—a layered formation of clay, silt, and sand deposited seven to eleven million years ago. Sixty percent of the fruit was fermented as whole grapes, the rest destemmed, followed by thirty months in large Slavonian and French oak botti. The 2019 vintage delivered a classic profile: no spring frost, a warm summer tempered by cool September nights, and an October harvest of superb quality. Wild strawberry, rose, cherry, and fine spices unfold on a palate of silky, persistent tannins. In magnum, this wine has decades of evolution ahead.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

"The 2019 Barolo Monvigliero is stunning. What a wine. Rich, heady and explosive, the 2019 is a gorgeous, spherical Barolo that dazzles right out of the gate. Aromatically broad and expansive, the 2019 fleshes out beautifully in the glass. Bright red-toned fruit, orange zest, mint, spice and bright saline notes saturate the palate on the back end. The 2019 is a total stunner. It comes across as a bit rustic compared to the 2018, but the final verdict on that won’t be evident for at least a number of years." -Vinous
