Burlotto, Barolo Monvigliero, 2011
Burlotto is one of Verduno's great traditional houses, and Monvigliero is its crown jewel, a cru made the old way: whole-cluster fermentation with the grapes still foot-trodden, a technique almost no one else dares with Nebbiolo. The result is a Barolo of extraordinary perfume and silken texture that's also built to age for decades. This is the 2011, a warmer vintage that gave generous, slightly earlier-drinking wines; at this age it's entering a beautifully mature window. One of Barolo's most sought-after bottlings. Decant and savor.
