Description
What kind of wine it is
Luigi Einaudi Barolo Monvigliero is a still red wine that expresses the elegance of Nebbiolo grown in Piedmont. Its profile is distinguished by clear and enveloping tannins, capable of guiding the palate towards a long and persistent finish. The aromatic interplay harmoniously combines delicate floral notes and red fruits with spicy nuances. At the table, its rigorous character pairs magnificently with red meats, flavourful pork dishes, game and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
This Barolo originates in the municipality of Verduno, in the prestigious Monvigliero area. The vines grow between 220 and 310 metres above sea level, with favourable south-east and south-west exposures. The soils rich in limestone and gypsum are crucial in defining the verticality and structural support of the sip. The vineyards are cultivated using the Guyot training system, with a dense planting of 4,800 vines per hectare, ensuring grapes of the highest organoleptic quality.
How it is produced
The vinification of Nebbiolo begins in cement vats at a controlled temperature between 27 and 30°C. This is followed by a post-fermentation maceration, with racking carried out after 22-25 days of contact. The malolactic fermentation is completed while maintaining perfectly stable thermal parameters. The evolution of the structure is perfected through slow ageing in large oak barrels, crowned by an essential rest in the bottle which consolidates its harmony.
History and Curiosities
Originating from the Municipality of Verduno, a region capable of expressing extraordinary character and distinctiveness, this Barolo DOCG from the Luigi Einaudi winery, a historic estate founded in 1897, embodies the highest winemaking tradition of Piedmont. The Monvigliero cru, introduced for the first time in 2018, continues its prestigious journey with the 2021 vintage. This excellent interpretation has won over critics, receiving prestigious accolades such as 96/100 from Robert Parker and the Tre Bicchieri from Gambero Rosso, confirming itself as a wine of absolute charm.
