Barolo 'Monvigliero', Paolo Scavino 2012

Verduno is not the most famous township of the Barolo area, but it grows great Barolo. Monvigliero is a well known cru in Verduno, and this vineyard was planted in 1967. This more feminine Barolo shows minty floral notes on the nose which develop further in the glass with personality on top of the elegant textured fruit. The structure is pure Monvigliero. The tannins are silky soft, and the expression of fruit is bold and rich, with a long persistent aftertaste that brings you back to the glass over and over again.

A young Barolo with intense rose petal and berry aromas and flavors. Full body, firm tannins and a fresh and clean finish. Very fine indeed.
