Castello di Verduno, Barolo Monvigliero Riserva, 2010
Verduno's flagship cru in a legendary vintage — and in Riserva tier. Castello di Verduno has belonged to the Burlotto family since 1909, today run by Gabriella Burlotto and her husband Franco Bianco (whose family brought prime Barbaresco parcels into the fold). Their daughters Marcella and Giovanna are now part of the team, and Mario Andrion has overseen the cellar since 2000. Monvigliero, on the crest of the Verduno hill, is the commune's defining cru — known for floral lift, perfume, and finesse rather than brute power. 2010 is one of the modern era's truly great Barolo vintages: classical, structured, age-worthy. As Riserva, this saw extended élevage before release. Fifteen years on, it's just entering its long drinking window.
