A translucent red hue with pinkish reflections, the 2022 Barolo Monvigliero captures the finesse typical of this Verduno site. Aromas of pomegranate, clementine, roses, and dried earth emerge from the glass. Medium-bodied, it shows vibrant acidity, fine tannins, and refreshing tension that carries through the finish

Fragrant and decidedly captivating, the main profile displays notes of cherries, raspberries, currants, lime blossoms, mixed mandarins, and guarana. The citrusy undertones recall lime, bergamot, and hawthorn. Medium body, extremely elegant, precise tannins, and a graceful finish. Vigna Costa Grimaldi gives its all in this challenging vintage.

The 2022 Barolo Monvigliero is terrific. Pliant and silky, with soft contours and great depth, the 2022 is terrific. Red cherry fruit, cedar, pipe tobacco, cinnamon and new leather all take shape in the glass. The 2022 is perhaps lacking just a bit of site character, but its depth and balance—both uncommonly strong for the year—largely compensate. Young tannins need a few years to soften.
