Take the stress out of buying a gift, let them choose exactly what they want.
From the most important MGA in Verduno, the Monvigliero from Vietti uses 100% whole bunches giving a delicious, spicy nose of wild herbs and white pepper. This is an extremely expressive wine with so much complexity and nuance. Flavours of peach, nectarine and blood orange mesh with the sinewy, athletic tannin structure. The finish is so long and dramatic with fine accents of black olive and liquorice.
This is the baby in the bunch, representing one of the newest additions to the Vietti portfolio, with the first vintage produced in 2018. The learning curve in Monvigliero is always steep, or so most winemakers tell me, because very few can go to 100% whole-cluster fermentation. Indeed, the 2021 Barolo Monvigliero sees 60% whole clusters. The Vietti team is experienced, and this wine is pristine. This vintage was harvested on September 30th, and maceration was a bit shorter, at 20 days. The wine shows a delicate film of pink salt with garden herbs, lemon leaves and spring flowers. It is a wine of extreme elegance, but I find that this vintage is especially Mediterranean in character. Production is 8,663 bottles.
The 2021 Barolo Monvigliero is another step forward for Vietti. Aromatic and lifted, the 2021 is all class. The stems (60%) are evident but not as strong of a marker as they were in the first years. Stylistically, the Monvigliero is closest to the Ravera, with which it shares a taut, mineral-driven personality.
