Barolo Monvigliero
Remarkably light, ruby red color with a floral bouquet on the nose and hints of red fruit. Smooth throughout with notes of cherry and clove followed by a well-rounded finish.

Fresh cherries and raspberries with spices and tree bark undertones. Medium-bodied with polished tannins which are quite supple. Vivid and mouthwatering with a silky finish.

Graceful aromas of violet, rose, redcurrant and crushed stone. Monvigliero makes some of the most elegant wines in the appellation, and luckily, many more expressions of this cru site are on the market now; so, you can really get your fill. The finish is silky and not too long on the mid-palate, but that subtle texture gives this wine an especially food-friendly approach.

Very spicy, this red is also light in color and weight, lending an ethereal quality to its supple texture. Sandalwood, cedar, licorice, raspberry and cherry flavors persist, with hints of rose and hibiscus. Firm and long.

An elegant, well-delineated Barolo, boasting cherry, strawberry, rose, menthol and spice aromas and flavors. Deftly balanced, with terrific, supple length, echoing fruit and spice notes.
