Burlotto, Barolo Monvigliero, 2014
Monvigliero is Verduno's grandest vineyard and Burlotto's flagship, made with whole clusters foot-crushed, a 60-day maceration, and aging in large Slavonian botti. That whole-cluster work gives the wine its hallmark spicy, herbal, floral perfume. The 2014 was a cooler, more challenging vintage that yielded fresh, fragrant, lighter-framed Barolos, and Burlotto's traditional hand shows beautifully here. This drinks with delicacy and aromatic lift now, an earlier-maturing take on a great cru.
