Burlotto's 2013 Barolo Monvigliero is simply magnificent... All the elements are in perfect balance. A wine of soaring aromatic intensity, pedigree and class, the 2013 is thrilling from the very first taste. Rose petal, lavender, violet, spice, orange peel, white pepper and cinnamon are some of the many notes that infuse the super-expressive finish. All of Burlotto's 2013 Barolos are exceptional. But the Monvigliero, well, it enters the realm of the deeply moving. It is a wine that will leave readers weak at the knees. Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Far, far too young, but the potential is clear and worthy of the hype. Still enjoyable and expressive through the wall of youthful tannin.

Sublime. The purity here is just striking. As great as it has always been.

It is damn close to perfection. Not for regular Barolo fans. You need to open your eyes here. Sublime.

This whole cluster Barolo was surprisingly open with lush cherry & strawberry fruit. A very unique style of Barolo that would appeal to Burg aficionados

So pure, whole cluster & finessed with stunning aromatics. Drinking more like a great GC Burg than a Barolo. Just an awesome vintage for Burlottos Monvigliero.

Intense and concentrated strawberry and rose on the nose. Weightless on the palate. Both powerful and delicate at once.

Oh boy. My first 2013 of his spectacular wine. Traditionally pressed and whole cluster macerated for 60 days, this wine is ethereal. Bursting with a dense floral nose. The tannins are still very present but taking a back seat to the fruit. So very delightful. Evening in VT in the background.

Rubis clair Nez envoûtant de framboise écrasée de petit fruit rouge belle salinité et grande délicatesse Bouche plus en retrait très délicate en attaque et finale au tanins parfaits mais un peu fuyante Curieusement avec l air les tanins semblent se dessiner Italien oui mais impossible d imaginer un nebbiolo et encore plus un Barolo jeune

Another “this definitely isn’t Barolo!” wine @StanWilliams. Amazing! Garnet color, Burgundian nose, red fruit on the palate.
