Einaudi Barolo Monvigliero 2018

Einaudi Barolo “Monvigliero” 2018

A refined and aromatic expression of one of Barolo’s most celebrated crus, Einaudi’s Monvigliero 2018 highlights the elegance and finesse for which this historic Verduno vineyard is renowned. Often described as Barolo’s most “Burgundian” site, Monvigliero produces Nebbiolo of lifted perfume, silky texture, and remarkable balance—beautifully aligned with the more classical profile of the 2018 vintage.

The nose is captivating and precise, offering aromas of rose petal, wild strawberry, red cherry, and dried orange peel, accented by hints of white pepper, sweet spice, and crushed stone. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and finely etched, with silky, polished tannins and vibrant acidity that give the wine lift and clarity. Flavors of red fruit, floral notes, and subtle savory earth unfold gracefully into a long, elegant finish.

More approachable in its youth than many Barolos, the 2018 Monvigliero nonetheless possesses the structure and balance to evolve beautifully over time.
