From one of the most celebrated vineyards in Barolo, the 2009 Monvigliero from Burlotto is a wine of elegance and finesse. Known for its ability to produce wines with both power and refinement, this Barolo exemplifies the potential of Nebbiolo when grown in the prestigious Monvigliero vineyard.

The nose is a captivating bouquet of red fruit—raspberries, cherries, and strawberries—intertwined with floral notes of rose petals and violet. Subtle hints of earth, spice, and licorice add depth and complexity. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and vibrant, with a firm tannin structure that provides support to the bright fruit and floral elements. The acidity is well-balanced, giving the wine freshness and precision. The finish is long and graceful, with lingering notes of rose, tar, and a touch of tobacco.

This Barolo is a perfect match for rich dishes like braised beef, roasted lamb, or truffle risotto. Its structure and elegance make it a wine that can be enjoyed now or cellared for further development, rewarding those who give it time to evolve.

"Burlotto's 2009 Barolo Vigneto Monvigliero is exceptional. A creamy, totally layered Barolo, the Monvigliero stands out for its texture. The use of whole clusters in fermentation – highly unusual in Piedmont – gives the 2009 a sense of aromatic lift and brightness that is quite welcome in this hot vintage. An intriguing mélange of tar, licorice and dried flowers leaves a lasting impression. The Monvigliero isn't for everyone as sometimes it can be a bit eccentric, but in 2009 all the elements come together with impeccable grace. There is little doubt this is one of the wines of the vintage." —Vinous

More about Burlotto

Burlotto is the flagship producer from Barolo’s Verduno area. This is a property of enormous historic importance, fabulously delicious wines, and outstanding value.

The Commendatore Giovan Battista Burlotto, one of Barolo's great characters, founded the estate back in 1850. The labels still commemorate the royal house of Savoy’s fondness for Burlotto wines, as well as the winery’s exclusive presence on Duke Luigi Amedeo's 1899 North Pole expedition. The Duke lost two fingers to frostbite, but wrote to the Commendatore a year and a half into the trip that “[t]he wine has been conserved in perfect condition.” G.B. Burlotto was also a pioneer of selling wine in bottle (rather than in cask or demijohn), as well as a champion of a now-rare but still-ravishing grape, Pelaverga Piccolo.

Four generations later, G.B.’s great-great-nephew, Fabio Alessandria, has changed little at the winery, doing some of the crush by foot, fermenting the wine in upright wooden vats, using indigenous yeast and little temperature control. We love these wines for their history, but even more for their diversity, their pure fruit, delicate structure, and signature Verduno floral aromatics and spicy palate.

The family's single-vineyard Barolos, especially the culty Monvigliero, are some of Piedmont's most lauded wines, critical and collector favorites year-in and year-out. But they continue to make extraordinary wines for Piedmont's more humble grapes (including Dolcetto, Barbera and of course, that Pelaverga), wines that don't attempt to turn those grapes into Nebbiolo blockbusters but rather that show their unique charms and terroir transparency. The sheer drinkability of these "lesser" wines is is tremendous, and the pricing for such special bottles from such top-rank grower, is shockingly accessible.
