Barolo Monvigliero from Comm. G.B.
Burlotto comes from the renowned Monvigliero vineyard in Verduno, one of the most esteemed sites within the Barolo appellation. Made from Nebbiolo, this wine is celebrated for its refined and highly aromatic style, standing apart from the more powerful and structured Barolos of other areas.
The nose reveals delicate notes of rose petals, dried flowers, and red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle hints of spice and tea. On the palate, it is precise, layered, and silky, with fine tannins and vibrant acidity that support long aging potential.
Traditional winemaking techniques, including extended maceration and aging in large oak casks, enhance its complexity and expression of terroir. The finish is long, elegant, and perfumed, with a distinct mineral edge.
It pairs beautifully with game dishes, aged cheeses, and rich meat-based cuisine. Barolo Monvigliero is often regarded as one of the most elegant and nuanced expressions of Barolo, sometimes described as the most “Burgundian” in style.
Producer
Comm. G.B.
Burlotto is a historic winery based in the village of Verduno, in the heart of the Piedmont wine region, with origins dating back to 1850 when it was founded by Giovanni Battista Burlotto. The estate quickly gained prestige in the late 19th century, becoming an official supplier to the Royal House of Savoy and earning a reputation for producing some of the finest expressions of Barolo.
Unlike many producers of the time, Burlotto bottled its own wines early on, contributing to the identity and recognition of Barolo as a bottled wine rather than a bulk product. Today, the winery is run by the fifth generation of the Burlotto family, maintaining a strong commitment to traditional methods while refining precision in both vineyard and cellar practices.
The portfolio focuses on native varieties such as Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Pelaverga, with particular attention to cru sites like Monvigliero, known for producing elegant and aromatic Barolo wines. Winemaking emphasizes minimal intervention, including long macerations and careful aging to preserve structure and terroir expression.
