Holy Ground for Barolo Aficionados– “Monviglero” Grand Cru

For those curating a world-class cellar, Cru Barolo is non-negotiable—and sourcing from iconic producers is essential. Today’s offering is a collector’s dream: a legendary vintner paired with one of Barolo’s most revered vineyard sites.

Vietti’s Barolo “Monvigliero” is not only the crown jewel of Verduno—it’s a benchmark across the entire Barolo region. This amphitheater-shaped vineyard, rooted in the famed Marls of Sant’Agata (limestone and clay), provides the ideal terroir for Nebbiolo. Vietti’s vines here are 45–50 years old, contributing remarkable depth and complexity.

The 2020 vintage delivered a rare harmony of finesse and power, allowing Vietti to craft a wine of precision, grace, and longevity. Expect soaring aromatics, persistent yet polished tannins, and a finish that speaks of balance and elegance. This is a wine to marvel at—and to cellar. Open it in a few years, or let it evolve for two to three decades.

This is a cornerstone bottle for any serious collection—and we’re offering special pricing when you purchase two or more. Molte Grazie!

Founded in the late 1800s in Castiglione Falletto, Vietti has been crafting wine in the heart of Barolo for over a century. It was among the first producers to bottle single-vineyard Barolo, beginning with Rocche di Castiglione in 1961—a visionary move that helped define the modern Barolo identity.

99 Points, James Suckling

“One of the palest and most perfumed Barolos from Vietti with a transparent ruby-orange hue. This is a super nuanced elegant expressive and ethereal Monvigliero that grows on me with enchanting notes of grilled grapefruit thyme frozen raspberries and mineral. A subtle splash of white pepper and mezcal-like smokiness. Really refined and transparent with some citrus and mineral tensions that are closely knit with the fine crumbled tannins. So much finesse and detail here and its complexity will continue to unwind. Really composed soulful and mind-blowing! An otherworldly idiosyncratic Barolo that actually reminded me of the finest Gredo garnacha. A big wow that deserves attention. Vegan. Best with a Burgundy glass. Can drink now or from 2027.”
