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 Comm. G.B. Burlotto 2017 Barolo (showing some of the gold medals and awards won for past vintages in the artwork depicted on the front label) offers a traditional and time-honored approach to Nebbiolo. It draws its fruit from various sites in Verduno. This is a soft and pliant expression that produces a long and fine succession of wild cherry, blue flower, crushed stone and anise-like aromas. You might also notice some rusty iron or candied apricot. This is a solid Barolo (with 10,000 bottles released) that vaunts a classic and traditional personality despite the hot vintage.

The 2017 Barolo is gorgeous. Beautifully perfumed and lifted, the 2017 is pure class. Sweet red berry fruit, crushed flowers, mint, spice and orange peel are all nicely lifted in this silky, mid-weight Barolo. Drink it over the next decade. The is a blend from Breri, Rocche dell' Olmo and Neirane, with a bit less Breri than normal, because the lower portions of the vineyard were affected by frost.
