This Barolo comes from the homonymous vineyard of Monvigliero that can be properly considered the “grand cru” of Verduno village. This cru was first vinified in 2000 vintage and blended intothe Barolo until the 2007 vintage when this vineyard has been bought by the Scavino family and made as a single cru.
Great finesse and aromatic complexity, distinctly floral spicy, savory, balsamic in its expression. The nose is vivid and compound. The texture is focused. An extremely elegant cru, feminine and full of character.

92 Points - Wine Spectator, February 2013.
91 Points - Wine Enthusiast, January 2012. "An iconic wine, this shows bold spice and smoke flavors that are brushed over a core of dark, luscious fruit. It's already soft and plush with a touch of sweet, sun-ripened cherry on the finish."

90 Points - Falstaff, November 2012. "Bright, intense ruby. Fragrant, very clear nose, lots of ripe wild raspberries. Extremely juicy fruit on the palate, builds up nicely, gripping, hearty tannins, smooth, slightly malty notes in the finish."
