Poderi Luigi Einaudi - Barolo Monvigliero 2019 (750ml)
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
Here's an exciting new project from Poderi Luigi Einaudi that I have been looking forward to tasting ever since I learned this historic winery was lucky enough to secure fruit in what is surely the most sought-after MGA in the appellation Monvigliero in Verduno. The 2019 Barolo Monvigliero Stefano Arienti 125 Anniversary Collection (with a minimalist artistic front label) needs time to open because the wine is rather closed on first nose. With coaxing and patience it eventually opens to pressed rose iris root white licorice and wild berry. The tannins are grippy and tight. I went back to taste this wine several times from an open bottle over the course of 24 hours. Production is 10300 bottles. Matteo Sardagna Einaudi has some exciting new wines in his portfolio including the excellent 2019 Barolo Villero that you will find reviewed here. There is also a Verduno Pelaverga that I was not able to taste but I look forward to trying it at the next occasion. Published: Aug 24 2023
