The 2013 Barolo Monvigliero really jumps out, thanks to its larger-than-life flavor profile and its impressive intensity. The wine shows ripe fruit aromas of dark cherry and plum, but it balances those aromas very nicely against spice, dark tobacco and crushed mineral. The effect is elegant and polished, and the tannins add ample support at the back. This wine promises a slow evolution over time. Paolo Scavino raises the banner high for the Monvigliero cru.

A suave red, this exhibits bright cherry, strawberry, iron, tar and tobacco flavors. Harmonious, with civilized, integrated tannins providing support. Shows terrific texture and spicy length. Best from 2019 through 2036. 487 cases made, 225 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
