Critics Scores
Wine Spectator
Distinctive green olive, juniper and floral aromas highlight this taut red. Cherry, tobacco, mineral and spice flavors chime in as this firms up on the finish. A racy style, with fine depth and length. Best from 2021 through 2038. 583 cases made.
James Suckling
Really impressive fragrant. An alluring wine that really asserts the prowess of this Verduno cru. Swirling with aromatic red cherries and berries with plenty of spices and floras, leading to a smooth palate with seamless, long and silky tannins. This is delicious. Burlotto's rise continues. Drink from 2022, but this will age reliably for at least 20 years.
Wine Enthusiast
Enticing aromas of rose, aromatic herb, new leather, truffle and balsamic are just some of what you'll find in this outstanding wine. On the elegant, vibrant palate, bright acidity and polished tannins offset flavors of juicy red cherry, crushed strawberry, rhubarb, clove and white pepper. Drink 2022–2034.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Fabio Alessandria of Comm. G.B. Burlotto tells me that he always believed in the controversial 2014 vintage. He never had any doubts regarding the inherent quality buried deep within this difficult vintage with its temperature extremes and humidity-based diseases. The 2014 Barolo Monvigliero ultimately proves to be a fragile and delicate wine with pure essence of wild rose and violet. Monvigliero is known as "the perfumed vineyard," thanks to those beautiful floral nuances. While contemplating the bouquet, you feel like you are standing in the middle of a rose garden. The wine offers loose-knit structure with fine tannins that are polished, etched and very linear.
Vinous
The 2014 Barolo Monvigliero is quite refined and gracious, although it is also surprisingly dark, dense and concentrated by this wine's standards. A shy, reticent wine, the 2014 is going to need time in bottle to flesh out, especially in the midpalate. I have seen this with other vintages, and expect that it will be the case here as well. The precision, clarity and silkiness that are so typical of Monvigliero start to emerge as the wine opens up in the glass. Readers should plan on being patient. If that is not possible, try to taste the 2014 as soon as possible, because these wines have a tendency to shut down hard post-bottling. As always, Monvigliero is fermented with 100 whole clusters.
