Tasted at the Suduiraut vertical at the château

leaving behind vibrant spice

My last bottle from the case

more in line with how I thought it would turn out from barrel than when I first tasted it from bottle last year

Like the Chambertin

Paolo Scavino, Barolo Monvigliero other_regions_italy Tasted at the Suduiraut verticalOne of the highlights in this range, the 2013 Barolo Monvigliero is creamy, sweet and also unusually supple for a young Barolo. Hints of rose petal, dried herb, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco gradually open up in a wine that is more giving on the palate than it is in its aromatics. The 2013 needs time for the classic Monvigliero perfume to emerge fully. There is more than enough precision, energy and tension to make me think that will come in time.
