Burlotto, Barolo Monvigliero, 2018 (3L)

Burlotto’s Barolo Monvigliero 2018 hails from the famed Monvigliero cru in Verduno, a site known for its sandier soils and floral, high-toned expression of Nebbiolo. Fabio Alessandria’s approach—most notably 100% whole-cluster fermentation—brings an unmistakable lift and aromatic complexity to this wine, often compared more to Chambolle-Musigny than to classic Serralunga or La Morra Barolo.

The 2018 vintage was cooler and less concentrated than surrounding years, which suits Burlotto’s transparent, delicate style. Expect notes of rose petal, wild strawberry, sweet herbs, and crushed spice, supported by ultra-fine tannins and fresh acidity. It’s less about muscle, more about movement and perfume.

In the 3-liter format, this wine is not only a showpiece—it’s also a slow-aging masterpiece, built to develop gracefully over the next two to three decades.

Serve with truffled risotto, game birds, or cellar it for a milestone celebration. This is Barolo for Burgundy lovers, in a bottle made to last a lifetime.
