Castello Di Verduno "MONVIGLIERO" Riserva Barolo
| Vintage: | 2015 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Verduno is one of the less well-known villages in the Barolo zone, but it contains one of the very best vineyards in the whole appellation, Monvigliero. The soil here is called Marne di Sant'Agata, composed of clay and sand with a high proportion of limestone, and the vineyard forms an amphitheater facing south, at about 1000 feet above sea level. These qualities give the wine grown here a combination of power and finesse that is the equal of any Barolo, and the fully traditional winemaking technique espoused by Mario and Franco allows the innate quality of this vineyard to fully express itself in wines that are, as Mario says, 'elegant, perfumed and exceptionally long-lived'. Wine Enthusiast 96 Points - "Rose, botanical herb, eucalyptus and forest floor aromas lead the way. Savory and elegantly structured, the full-bodied palate features crushed raspberry, ripe black cherry, star anise and tobacco framed in firm, refined tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced and energized. It's still youthfully austere and needs time to develop to its full potential. Drink 2027â"2037. " - Kerin O'keefe |
