This 2016 Barolo Monvigliero is 100% Nebbiolo from Verduno in Piedmont. The grapes macerated on the skins for about 45 days. The wine then spent about 40 months in wood: 18 months in 500-liter French oak tonneaux, then large 2,500-liter barrels, half French Allier oak and half Slovenian oak, 2 to 15 years old. Winemaker Silvio Busca decided it needed more time, so he left it in wood a few extra months and chose to release it as a Riserva, later than other producers. About 3,000 bottles are made per year.
Poderi Roset is in Verduno, in the province of Cuneo. Silvio Busca, who also grows hazelnuts on 20 hectares, bought the estate in 2007 with a partner. He farms 12 hectares sustainably, leases part of the Monvigliero vineyard, uses no tractors, brings in cows to plow, and has used no chemicals since 2006. Grapes are basket-pressed in 200-kilo batches. Their wines are vegan.
