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 2019 Barolo Acclivi is a selection of fruit from old vines in the best positions in Verduno. Specifically, it is a blend of fruit from Monvigliero, Neirane and Rocche dell’Olmo. The bouquet opens to elegant floral intensity with wild rose, violet, orange peel and delicate berry. This wine feels very alive thanks to the lifted and delicate nature of its aromas. The finish is silky, with melting tannins and terrific length. Wines from Verduno tend to show a combination of floral intensity and spiciness, but this vintage of Acclivi is partial to the floral side of the equation.

The 2019 Barolo Acclivi is a very serious wine in this range. It possesses a gorgeous core and tons of supporting structure. I would give the 2019 at least a few years in bottle, as it really needs that time to release its aromatics. I have seen this wine blossom with cellaring, and imagine that will be the case here as well. Today, the Acclivi is quite closed, but time in the glass releases gorgeous red fruit and blood orange character. Although the Acclivi is not as coveted as the Cannubi or Monvigliero, it is an important wine in its own right, as several recent bottles of the 2006 showed. Think of it like Rousseau's Clos Saint-Jacques relative to the Chambertin and Beze.
