Seemingly a name that appeared in the American wine scene out of thin air, Burlotto's top wines such as the Barolo Monvigliero are some of the most sought-after wines in the world; what makes them extra special is the fact that they make perhaps the highest quality of what so many of the Piedmontese would have long referred to as "Lunch Wines" - that is, those that are not the King and Queen of Barolo and Barbaresco, respectively. Among those are the Barbera, Dolcetto, Langhe Nebbiolo and the bottling of one grape once rarely found in a top Barolo cellar: Pelaverga.

Comm. G.B. Burlotto

Burlotto was founded in the eighteenth century by Giovan Battista Burlotto in Verduno, and continues to be family-operated today. What set Burlotto apart early on was his insistence as Henri Gouges did in Burgundy that he bottle his own wine with his own label, rather than sell wine in bulk to a distributor. 

G.B. Burlotto continued to be forward-thinking, purchasing a large plot of the Monvigliero Cru in Barolo, which is the hallmark wine of the estate. He also purchased plots in Cannubi, a Cru held in high esteem long before Barolo was an appellation. 

G.B.'s descendent, Gabriella took another transformative step for the estate in 1972 when she planted a large portion of her Massara vineyard to the Pelaverga grape, and before long produced some of the first single-varietal Pelaverga bottlings ever made. Consider it the Cru Beaujolais of Italy, as the Crus of Beaujolais only recently shook the wine world into realizing the tremendous potential of the Gamay grape, leaving it to no longer be an afterthought to Burgundy's Pinot Noir. Pelaverga is wildly complex, without the twenty-plus years' aging necessity that the Barolo price tag comes with.

The 2016 Barolo Acclivi is a deep, plush and hauntingly beautiful wine with tremendous power, dazzling intensity and remarkable richness. An ample, expansive and broad wine of striking inner perfume and sweetness, the 2016 is flat-out stunning. Crushed raspberry, mint, spice and blood orange infuse the 2016 with incredible depth and complexity before it finishes with mind-blowing intensity. All I can say is: Wow!
