VERDUNO, BAROLO, ITALY

Monvigliero Hill is known as the most prestigious single vineyard in Verduno and is definitely one of the most symbolic of Barolo. Spent 3 years in Slavonian oak casks, another 2 in stainless and then 6 finishing in bottle. Any Barolo love will immediately note its grippy tannins now. It needs time to settle down. Dark cherry and blackberry notes are evident and with another 5 years of aging a true pleaser will reveal itself.  Drink for 15+ years.

Food Pairings: classic Piemontese vitello tonnato, sunny side up egg with shaved truffles, grilled lamb chops.
