Always delicious. Drinking well for such a young Barolo — 3 years ago

Great Italian Pinot with a long cherry aftertaste, really nice blackberry flavored and earthy taste. This worked really well with Moroccan spiced chicken fire roasted eggplant and couscous. — 4 years ago
Just lovely. Nose of cherry pie, extremely dry and tanic, with the finish of dark chocolate. — 6 years ago
Excellent! Smooth, not too dry and not sweet. Easy drinking and can be drank alone. May not stand up to bold food flavours. — 9 years ago
Tannin rich and heady on the nose - this is a serious orange wine for red wine fans. — 9 years ago

Very much on the light side. Smooth. — 3 years ago
All around pleasurable and with good character. Well produced with minimal reduction at the start. — 4 years ago
Tannins have some nice silky structure. Cherry is full flavored with medium-long length. But boozy of a nose — 5 years ago
Required almost 2 hours of decanting. It was quite the experience because this Barolo continued to evolve and provide new flavours throughout the night. Plums, figs, berries, strawberries, raspberries, followed by vanilla, oak, humidor notes, earth, mild herbaceousness, truffles. Tannins are big, chewy but soft and persist for a long time. It’s a complex wine that provides gifts of new flavours that are very well integrated. — 7 years ago
Lovely peach tone. Citrus crisp. — 9 years ago

Mention “Monvigliero” around any Barolo nut and there is a better than good chance you might witness the following behavior: waxing poetic in hushed tones, sighing, swooning…possibly fainting. Monvigliero truly is the zeitgeist. For over 40 years, Comm. G.B. Burlotto (and Fratelli Alessandria before them), have quietly been making great single-vineyard Monvigliero and it was only in the last 10-15 years that the world started to catch on to the magic that was happening in Verduno. In the last handful of years alone, there have been a flurry of producers with holdings in Monvigliero that have released their own single-vineyard expression. However, what many may not realize is that Enrico Scavino and his daughters have been producing a “Monvigliero” since 2007, making them one of the first half dozen to do so. I’m only suggesting that the Scavino’s knew there was something special there well before the hype train came to the station.
Popped and poured; enjoyed with dinner and over the course of a couple hours. The 2020 “Monvigliero” pours a deep garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. The nose is gorgeous; seemingly darker fruited with blackberry, pomegranate, black cherry lozenges, roses and spice box. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin (though friendly) and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and lithe. An elegant wine and downright delicious. I think Paolo Scavino did a fabulous job of capturing the synergy of what Mother Nature gave in the 2020 vintage and the source of their fruit in the heart of the Monvigliero MGA. These are very early days for this wine but it’s already a joy to drink now but I expect this will continue a lovely evolution through 2038, easy. — a year ago
2017 vintage. Pinot noir weight, body and color. Strawberry and raspberry flavor components up front. Cracked black pepper, tar, parched earth and blackberry on the finish. Tannins afoot but not frighteningly so. Opened a little early but still harmonious. — 4 years ago
Full, earthy, good — 6 years ago
Dry, deep, slightly fruity — 8 years ago
Quite possibly the most reduced wine I've opened all year. Like curling up in a tire factory. But. After an hour, a beautiful, light, red fruited and amazingly aromatic wine emerged, grounded by hot rocks and Sicilian spirit. Nice value and killer pizza wine. — 9 years ago
We love this. The best organic red yet. Medium light, smoky, with dry finish. — 11 years ago
One of my favorite — 12 years ago

2020 Vintage. Surprised that this had a good amount of acidity which made it a great match with food. Loved it. — 9 months ago
