2019 G.B. Burlotto Barolo Monvigliero 100-Point Rated Italian Red Wine

Discover the Comm. G.B. Burlotto 2019 Barolo Monvigliero: A Masterpiece of Piedmont’s Nebbiolo Tradition

Hailing from the prestigious Barolo region of Piedmont, Italy, this exceptional 2019 Barolo Monvigliero by Comm. G.B. Burlotto is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and age-worthy elegance. Crafted entirely from Nebbiolo grapes grown in Monvigliero’s renowned vineyards—since its first vintage in 1982—this wine stands apart through its distinctive whole-cluster fermentation process, a technique chosen not for bold structure but to amplify its intricate aromatic layers.

From its vibrant ruby hue emerges a captivating perfume of wild strawberry and orange peel intertwined with aromatic herbs like tarragon and sage, alongside earthy nuances of truffle, autumnal leaves, and subtle spice notes of cinnamon and white pepper. On the palate, it balances delicate fruitiness with crisp acidity and velvety tannins, offering a refined texture reminiscent of Burgundian finesse yet rooted in Piedmont’s terroir. This wine’s complexity evolves gracefully over time, revealing depth that mirrors its celebrated heritage while showcasing Fabio Alessandria’s artistry—contrasting his destemmed offerings like Castelletto with Monvigliero’s fleeting herbaceous charm.

The 2019 vintage captures vibrant energy and tension, characteristic of Barolo’s finest years. Though initially reserved in youth, this wine is designed for decades of aging (2025-2060), rewarding patience with heightened sophistication. Its harmonious blend of floral hints (sweet violets), mineral undertones (cinchona bark), and lifted spice creates a sensory journey that pairs impeccably with rich game dishes or stands alone as a collector’s treasure.

Produced at 14% alcohol with minimal intervention in large oak casks, this rare bottling embodies both precision and passion—a hallmark of Fine & Rare Italian wines. Whether you’re seeking an investment-grade bottle or a profound expression of Nebbiolo’s potential, this Barolo Monvigliero delivers unmatched quality for discerning enthusiasts.

Availability may vary in-store due to its limited production status—a reminder of its exclusivity among top-tier Piedmontese wines rated by critics like Wine Advocate (100 points) and Jeb Dunnuck (99 points). A singular choice for those who cherish complexity and timeless elegance in their cellar selections.
