As always the, 2007 Barolo Vigneto Monvigliero is the most high-toned of these wines. Sweet mountain herbs, crushed flowers and red fruit are layered into this finely-knit, chiseled Barolo. Here, too, the warmth of the vintage has given the wine a little more volume than is normally the case. Delicate floral notes wrap around the perfumed, ethereal finish. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027.
Burlotto continues to deliver the goods. In recent vintages, the wines have been especially strong.
