2016 | Burlotto | Barolo Monvigliero

A distinctive red, full of savory aromas of wild thyme, juniper, eucalyptus and green olive. Flavors of cherry and strawberry enter on the palate and overall this is refined and lacy. Harmonious and long, finishing with flashes of blood orange, spice and malt.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Made with whole-cluster fermentation, the Comm. G.B. Burlotto 2016 Barolo Monvigliero opens to distinctive intensity with floral notes backed by forest berry and bramble. Including the grape stems in fermentation imparts a slightly herbaceous character with eucalyptus and balsam herb. I also pick up on some freshly milled white pepper that reminds me of the Nebbiolo-adjacent Pelaverga grape that is also commonly planted in Verduno. The wine opens slowly to reveal grilled herbs, toasted chia seed and pistachio nut. More than obvious fruit, the core of the wine offers wild rose, lavender and pressed flowers. Production is approximately 8,000 bottles.

• Wine Spectator: A distinctive red, full of savory aromas of wild thyme, juniper, eucalyptus and green olive. Flavors of cherry and strawberry enter on the palate and overall this is refined and lacy. Harmonious and long, finishing with flashes of blood orange, spice and malt.

Producer Information

G.B. Burlotto is a small estate in the Piedmont village of Verduno, particularly known for its wines from the Nebbiolo variety. The estate is a major owner in the Monvigliero cru, and the resultant wine is regarded as one of the greatest of all Barolos.The wine portfolio includes five Barolo DOCG as well as highly regarded wines produced from Barbera, Dolcetto and Freisa. The rare and ancient Pelaverga variety is produced as a varietal wine and depending on the vintage, may spend a short period aging in large oak barriques. There is also an uncommon Nebbiolo rosé included in the collection.Winemaking remains very traditional, with grapes crushed by foot, and very long macerations. On the contrary, barrel aging usually takes place in large French oak barrels, rather than Slavonian ones.
