Zusätzliche Information

Vinee Beschreibung und Bewertung

97+/100 PP

'The 2013 Barolo Monvigliero is indeed a special wine that excels in terms of elegance and ethereal momentum. It's impossible to ignore its charm and seductive powers. This wine was released one year ago, but the folks at Comm. G.B. Burlotto preferred not to send samples for review at that time. I was able to taste this beautiful wine during my visit to the estate this year. This vintage of Monvigliero glides smooth and high over the senses, imparting fine notes of cassis, wild berry and anise seed. There is a lasting note of white truffle with tangy ginger and rhubarb. The wine offers volume and largess in the mouth with substantial textural fiber. The bright acidity adds energy and zest to the finish. This wine dances with the grace and muscle of a centerstage ballerina.'

'Burlotto's 2013 Barolo Monvigliero is simply magnificent. In many vintages, a young Monvigliero can come across as disjointed, especially in the aromatics and the pungent, savory notes can be overpowering. Not in 2013. All the elements are in perfect balance. A wine of soaring aromatic intensity, pedigree and class, the 2013 is thrilling from the very first taste. Rose petal, lavender, violet, spice, orange peel, white pepper and cinnamon are some of the many notes that infuse the super-expressive finish. All of Burlotto's 2013 Barolos are exceptional. But the Monvigliero, well, it enters the realm of the deeply moving. It is a wine that will leave readers weak at the knees.'

'There was no way I was not going to order Burlotto´s 2013 Barolo Monvigliero off the list. One of my favorite wines from this great Barolo vintage, the Burlotto Monvigliero is now impossible to find, especially at what should be its true price. TentaziOni´s very gentle markup made the decision automatic. I just had to have it. And so we did. What a wine. The 2013 has now shut down a bit after its bottling, but it remains a magnificent, regal Barolo of the very highest level. Fermentation with whole clusters gives the Monvigliero a weightless feel and striking aromatics that allow it to drink beautifully with a wide range of foods. TentaziOni´s risotto was very rich and not exactly traditional, but it was absolutely fabulous with the Barolo. What else can you ask for?'
