Insignia is especially silky

Vibrant ruby

The intense and tautly muscular big-bodied flavors that are slightly wild in character display outstanding length on the structured and youthfully austere finish that is shaped by dense but fine tannins

Once again

Paolo Scavino, Barolo Monvigliero Vintage:2013 Insignia is especially silkyOne of the highlights in this range, the 2013 Barolo Monvigliero is creamy, sweet and also unusually supple for a young Barolo. Hints of rose petal, dried herb, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco gradually open up in a wine that is more giving on the palate than it is in its aromatics. The 2013 needs time for the classic Monvigliero perfume to emerge fully. There is more than enough precision, energy and tension to make me think that will come in time.
