Reviewed September 2022Dark cherries, walnut, vanilla and mussels on the nose followed by a medium-bodied palate rounded by fruit-loaded tannins. Silky, flavorful and expressive with some serious structure, too. Drink or hold.

"Monleale" is the elite subzone designation for Barbera in the Colli Tortonesi, requiring longer aging and stricter yields. The 2018 "Evoluta" (Evolved) is a serious, brooding titan of a wine. It has shed its primary fruit to reveal savory layers of black plum, worn leather, dark chocolate, and a touch of balsamic. The tannins are fully resolved, leaving a wine of deep, velvety concentration. This is Barbera built for a steakhouse.

"Evoluta" represents the best of Barbera from this region. It truly reflects the ability of Monleale Barbera to age and evolve. It's matured in oak for one to two years and subsequently in bottle for an additional 18-24 months. Since we were only able to obtain a small allocation of this rare treat, it's sure to sell out quickly.
