Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barolo Monvigliero DOCG 2021 embodies the refined nobility of the Barolo terroir. Monvigliero in Verduno lends the wine a clear minerality, freshness, and aromatic depth. Burlotto, a traditional family winery, stands for meticulous craftsmanship and respectful winemaking. The 2021 vintage displays grounded fruit, elegant structure, and the potential to age for years.
In the glass, it displays a ruby red to garnet color. The nose seduces with red cherries, roses, and violets, along with tar and fine mineral notes. On the palate, the silky tannin structure captivates, accompanied by concentrated fruit, fresh acidity, and balsamic nuances. The wine continues with a long, elegant persistence. Critics such as Falstaff, Parker, Jancis Robinson, Jeff Leve, and Wine Spectator praise the balance between freshness, power, and refinement of this Monvigliero.
Optimal drinking maturity is expected from approximately 2031 to the 2040s, depending on storage and development. It pairs well with hearty dishes: braised beef, game, truffle risotto, or mature cheeses such as Parmigiano-Reggiano.
