Barolo Monvigliero 2021

The Barolo "Monvigliero" by Crissante Alessandria stands as a crown jewel for the estate and a definitive benchmark for lovers of elegant, traditional, and vibrantly precise Barolo. The Monvigliero cru is historically revered as the absolute Grand Cru of the Verduno village: an amphitheater-like hillside blessed with exceptional sun exposure, where the signature limestone-clay soils (Sant'Agata marls) grant Nebbiolo an unmistakable blueprint defined by fluid grace, intense floral notes, and a legendary, deep spice profile.

Crissante Alessandria masterfully translates this historic vineyard by honoring the strict steps of Langhe tradition. The Nebbiolo grapes are manually harvested in October at peak phenolic ripeness. In the cellar, long fermentation and skin-contact maceration run in temperature-controlled tanks to extract noble structure and seamless polyphenols. The essential aging path sees the wine resting for at least 24 to 30 months in large oak casks, a deliberate choice designed to slowly sculpt its dimensions while protecting the pristine clarity of the fruit. This Barolo combines immediate stylistic refinement with a monumental aging potential.
