Paolo Scavino Barolo Monvigliero 2021
DOZEN: $2,700.00 or $225.00 each
Vibrant and boasting great intensity, the compelling 2021 Monvigliero from Paolo Scavino mesmerizes with aromas of wild rose, menthol, blood orange and dark spice. Firm and elegantly structured, the delicious palate delivers crunchy red cherry, strawberry compote, pink peppercorn and licorice before a minty close. Close-grained tannins provide support. What a gorgeous wine. (98) KERIN OKEEFE
The 2021 Barolo Monvigliero is a pretty dense wine. I don't see quite the delineation or nuance of the finest wines in this range or the best wines from this site, which leads me to believe Scavino is still getting a feel for Monvigliero. For many top producers, this would be a superb wine, but in this lineup, it's in the middle of the pack. Macerated cherry, spice, tobacco and cedar struggle to emerge fully. I hope to revisit the 2021 in a few years' time. (94) ANTONIO GALLONI, Vinous
This has aromas of tar, violets, cherries, orange rind and a touch of aniseed. Medium- to full-bodied with a firm tannin structure that seems to recede toward the finish. The fruit is juicy, tender, pretty and refined. It should be more evident once the tannins mellow out. Exciting. Better from 2030 (96) ALDO FIORDELLI, Jamessuckling.com
