2021 Monchiero Langhe Nebbiolo

93 Points, Kerin O’Keefe – “An outstanding Langhe Nebbiolo, the lovely Monchiero 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo shows the noble grape’s more charming, immediate side. It delivers aromas and flavors recalling violet, strawberry compote, baking spice and crushed mint alongside lithe, polished tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it well balanced.”

94 Points, Tom Kline (The Wine Pilot) - "The wines of Monchiero just seem to get better and better each year. This fits the traditional Langhe nebbiolo brief in its drinkability, but couples it with finesse and complexity. Aromas of red rose, roast tomato umami, subtle cherry, mineral, liquorice root. Pure, fine, and focused throughout. The palate is bright and refined, with rose, mineral, musk, and liquorice root again. Chalky fine, tannins. Lovely fine detail, finesse, and length, particularly at Langhe level."

From the stellar 2021 vintage - a red fruited, fine tannin expression if there ever was one & delivering on quality price ratio in spades. Yet again delivering the Barolo experience at a fraction of the price. A single vineyard wine, with the site sitting in between Monprivato & Bricco Boschis.  This is terrific terroir for a Langhe Nebbiolo.  The northern exposition allowing for elegant red fruited Nebbiolo even in the warmest of vintages.
