Nestled in one of Barolo’s most revered crus, this wine brings together the full intensity of Nebbiolo with the grace and subtlety that Monvigliero is known for. There’s an immediate appeal with its rich dark fruit, but it’s the layers of complexity that truly captivate.

On the nose, you’re greeted by a bouquet of blackberries, cherries, and plums, combined with a delicate floral edge of rose and violet. Earthy tones of tobacco and leather add a rustic depth, with whispers of spice weaving through. The palate shows its strength with firm tannins and balanced acidity, yet it’s smooth and elegant, making every sip unfold with layers of fruit and a touch of minerality. The finish is long, with lingering notes of licorice and dried herbs.

This Barolo pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes—think roasted meats, rich stews, or truffle risotto. Its robust structure ensures that it will continue to evolve in the cellar for years to come.

"In keeping with the style of the year, the 2011 Barolo Monvigliero is a bit fleshier and more overt than it usually is. The aromatic signatures are very much present though, accentuated by the inclusion of 100% whole clusters. At the same time, the 2011 offers gorgeous depth and resonance, not to mention superb overall balance. Savory herbs, olives and herbs inform the pungent finish. Burlotto's Monvigliero remains one of the most distinctive and compelling wines being made in Barolo today. This is impressive juice." —Vinous

"The 2011 Barolo Monvigliero is one of those rare wines that shows the graceful and elegant side of what was in fact a scorching, hot vintage. You'll notice the word Vigneto has been removed from the wine name, thus keeping in step with the new appellation rules. This is a bright and fragrant expression of Nebbiolo that presents a very floral bouquet with blue flower and rose hip. Soft fruit tones of wild cherry and apricot follow suit with honey and lightly toasted hazelnut. I love the silky and prolonged nature of the mouthfeel."

"The warm spring of 2011 brought an early and vigorous start to the growing season, and autumn was marked by above-average temperatures. Unsurprisingly, the Monvigliero is generous and extraverted. At almost 10 years old, it is skipping along in its evolution though remains vivacious. A magnificent potpourri of dried petals, cinnamon and cloves waft from the glass, while the palate is full of strawberry fruit punctuated by accents of black olives. Lovely and silky, and completely accessible now, this is really quite easy to drink."

"Pressed rose, dark berry, baked earth, forest floor, licorice, walnut and a balsamic note are some of the intriguing aromas you'll find on this fantastic, balanced Barolo. The structured, elegant palate delivers mature black cherry, dark raspberry, anise, white pepper, tobacco, orange peel and clove alongside assertive but refined tannins."

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.
