The 2014 Barolo Monvigliero is closed and timid compared to the other wines in this portfolio of new releases from the Scavino family. This growing site is characterized by sharp diurnal shifts between day and nighttime temperatures. It has calcareous soils that are light in color. The vineyard is less than one hectare in size and was planted in 1968, with a newer part planted in 2005. The family started to vinify it as a cru expression starting with the 2007 vintage. Because Monvigliero is a cool growing site in the warmest years, the fruit feels even fresher and thinner in this cool vintage. Although the wine was in a closed or reduced state when I tasted it, you can still identify aromas of dark fruit, iron and crushed mineral. There are also some green notes of dried mint or oregano. This is the least expressive wine of the lot.

Tasting Notes
The redcurrant-compote character really pops out here, before dried cranberries, licorice and spice box all come to the fore. Tannic and very expansive, sweeping through a whole array of red berries via linear acidity and wrapping itself up in a long finish. Drink in 2023.
