Paolo Scavino Barolo Monvigliero 2014
Item Code: IL1-2041M14B
This Barolo comes from the homonymous vineyard of Monvigliero that can be properly considered the “grand cru” of Verduno village. This cru was first vinified in 2000 vintage and blended intothe Barolo until the 2007 vintage when this vineyard has been bought by the Scavino family and made as a single cru.
Great finesse and aromatic complexity, distinctly floral spicy, savory, balsamic in its expression. The nose is vivid and compound. The texture is focused. An extremely elegant cru, feminine and full of character.
Wine Advocate 90: “The 2014 Barolo Monvigliero is closed and timid compared to the other wines in this portfolio of new releases from the Scavino family. This growing site is characterized by sharp diurnal shifts between day and nighttime temperatures. It has calcareous soils that are light in color. The vineyard is less than one hectare in size and was planted in 1968, with a newer part planted in 2005. The family started to vinify it as a cru expression starting with the 2007 vintage. Because Monvigliero is a cool growing site in the warmest years, the fruit feels even fresher and thinner in this cool vintage. Although the wine was in a closed or reduced state when I tasted it, you can still identify aromas of dark fruit, iron and crushed mineral. There are also some green notes of dried mint or oregano. This is the least expressive wine of the lot.”
