96 POINTS

James Suckling

A crystal clear Barolo with cherry, orange-peel and blueberry character. Really vivid. Full-bodied, but very tight and linear with superb length and definition. Fantastic focus and structure. Wonderful. Better after 2024.

Wine Spectator

Offering a mix of sour cherry, black currant, floral and leather aromas and flavors, this Barolo is supple and expressive, yet with enough structure to allow it to evolve over the next 15 to 20 years. Ends with a fine aftertaste of fruit, earth and savory elements.

Falstaff

Bright ruby red. Expressive nose of sugared cherry, elderberry, mint and a hint of sealing wax on the finish. Gripping and powerful on the palate, with elegant, polished tannins, stretches beautifully over the tongue, great length and fine salt on the finish.

Antonio Galloni MW - Vinous

The 2017 Barolo Monvigliero is classy and polished right out of the gate. Sweet dark cherry, rose petal, mint and cinnamon are some of the nuances that open in the glass. Even with all of its immediacy, the 2017 has plenty of tannin. I would prefer to cellar it for at least a few years. The 2017 is undoubtedly an attractive wine, but its best days lie ahead.

Monica Larner - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The Paolo Scavino 2017 Barolo Monvigliero is a soft and graceful wine that shows blue flower, dried lavender and rosemary essence. Those Mediterranean aromas give this wine an especially distinctive personality, and you might also sense some white pepper and dried licorice root. This wine is soft and nicely flesh out with shored-up acidity and tannins.
