Burlotto, Barolo Monvigliero Vintage:2017 don’t think about touching bottles

don’t think about touching bottles until at least 2020

Angelo Gaja doesnt say too much about his wines these days

Should be a wonderful follow-up to the splendid 2007 Dow--and very long-lived

with excellent length

strangely making me think of Danish pastry towards the well-defined finish

Burlotto, Barolo Monvigliero Vintage:2017 don’t think about touching bottlesThe 2016 Barolo Monvigliero is utterly spellbinding in its profoundness. In this vintage, the Monvigliero moves into shades of more blue toned fruit. Whole clusters, always 100%, are remarkably integrated. Rose petal, lavender, mint, crushed flowers, wild red berries, blueberry, blood orange and mint are some of the many notes that grace this exceptional, silky Barolo. The 2016 was fermented with low temperatures and spent two months on the skins.
