Country: Italy / Monvigliero
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Fratelli Alessandria / Barolo
Nicely extracted and thick in the mouth with plush layers of black fruit, mineral, ash, leather and vanilla, Monvigliero shows a balanced and elegant side to the 2005 vintage. The wine is inky and rich with stone-tight tannins and a drying finish. Pair it with roasted lamb or pork stuffed with prunes.
