don’t think about touching bottles until at least 2020

minerality and smoked plum and dark fruit

I think that will be the same here

Paolo Scavino, Barolo Monvigliero other_regions don’t think about touching bottlesOne of the highlights in this range, the 2013 Barolo Monvigliero is creamy, sweet and also unusually supple for a young Barolo. Hints of rose petal, dried herb, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco gradually open up in a wine that is more giving on the palate than it is in its aromatics. The 2013 needs time for the classic Monvigliero perfume to emerge fully. There is more than enough precision, energy and tension to make me think that will come in time.
