"Scavino first bottled Monvigliero as a separate single-vineyard wine in 2007. Only 0.83 hectares in size and situated on limestone soils, its proximity to the Tanaro river moderates the microclimate. The nose is intense and pungent, exhibiting pure red fruits and no balsamic tones. The attack is lush but also forthright and vibrant, the stunning fruit supported by underlying acidity. Very concentrated, it shows welcome austere grip. Textured but elegant, this imperious Barolo is built to last, and the finish is exceptionally long."

"The 2019 Barolo Monvigliero is a gorgeous wine that marries the classicism of this site with the bright, forward fruit that is such a signature of the Scavino style. Freshly-cut roses, kirsch, mint, cinnamon and blood orange race across the palate, supported by vibrant acids and veins of sinewy tannin. This seems to call for at least a few years in bottle."
