VINOUS 96 POINTS - "
The 2018 Barolo Monvigliero... is dazzling. That's not much of a
surprise, as the 2018 has always been gorgeous
from barrel. A touch of whole clusters adds
aromatic nuance and lift to this super-classic,
sculpted Barolo. The Monvigliero impresses
with its purity, delineation and class. Superb...The new Monvigliero is made in
conjunction with Jeremy Seysses of Domaine
Dujac and has some whole cluster influence.
As much as I hope stems don't become a trend
in Piedmont like French oak barrels did in the
1990s, there is little question whole clusters
seem to work especially well in Monvigliero.
These wines are simply brilliant..." Drink 2028-2048 - ANTONIO GALLONI
WINE ADVOCATE 95 POINTS - "Here's a very special treat from Verduno and one of the most exciting new releases we will see from Italy this year. In its inaugural release, the Vietti 2018 Barolo Monvigliero is made with 60% whole cluster fruit, following in time-honored local tradition. The soils of Monvigliero are loose and light in color, producing tight but lean-bodied wines. The use of whole clusters gives the wine more texture, intensity and tannins. With wild berry, rose, dried mint and white licorice and very fine and smooth tannins, this wine is part of a precious 3,207-bottle production." Drink 2024 - 2048.
