The 2018 Vietti Barolo Monvigliero marks the inaugural vintage of this wine from Vietti, a dazzling addition to their esteemed range. Despite 2018 being a challenging vintage, Vietti successfully produced a high-quality wine that showcases the purity, delineation, and class of Monvigliero. Expect an expressive nose of sweet raspberries, strawberry jam, orange peel, and delicate floral notes. It is light to medium-bodied, offering flavors of fine raspberry fruit, ripe cherry, and remarkable juiciness, balanced by fine-grained tannins and medium acidity. The wine is beautifully perfumed with fresh red floral and exotic spice tones, complemented by red strawberry fruit and fresh mint. While potentially a bit closed in its youth, it reveals an amazingly silky texture, persistent strawberry notes, and fine, salty, chalky tannins, promising excellent aging potential. 🍴 Food Pairing: This Barolo is a superb companion to rich, savory dishes. Classic Western pairings include roast beef, fillet steak, braised short ribs, truffle pasta, mushroom risotto, and aged cheeses. For Asian cuisine, consider Peking duck or Korean BBQ. It also excels with traditional Piedmontese fare like Brasato al Barolo, truffle-laden dishes such as tajarin pasta with white truffle, or strong cheeses like Castelmagno DOP. 🥂 Fit for Event: A truly special wine for serious collectors and connoisseurs, ideal for significant celebrations, milestone anniversaries, or a contemplative evening. Its structure and aging potential make it a wine to be savored and appreciated over many years. 【 Vietti's inaugural 2018 Monvigliero, a dazzling new addition to their range, showcasing purity, delineation, and class. 】
