Monvigliero is the vineyard Barolo insiders mention first when they talk about Verduno, and Diego Morra farms a good slice of it. This is Barolo for people who prize perfume and finesse over brute force.
The Morra family have grown grapes in Verduno, at the northern edge of the Barolo zone, for three generations; Diego began making the wine himself in 2006. Monvigliero is a south-facing hillside of about 230 to 300 metres, and the family's vines there average around 40 years. Only a selected portion goes into this Barolo, about 5,000 bottles a year, made in a traditional way from 100% Nebbiolo.
Monvigliero is known for elegance: lifted aromas of rose and red fruit, spice, and tannins that are firm but polished rather than brutal. The 2019 is drinking well now and will keep for many years.
Decant an hour ahead and serve at 18°C. Brilliant with a mushroom risotto, braised beef, or simply a slab of aged Parmigiano Reggiano.

About Deliciously Fine Foods
About Deliciously Fine Foods
Italian food, from inside London's market
Since 2016 we've supplied London's restaurants and food shops from New Covent Garden Market, where the city's kitchens buy their food while most of us are still asleep. Deliciously Fine Foods opens the same larder to yours, in three ways.
We bring it to you
We import charcuterie, cheese, preserves, olive oil, pasta and truffles from artisan family producers in Italy, including Subissati, curing salumi in the hills of Roccastrada, and Maremma in Barattolo on the Tuscan coast. We know every one of them personally. Our founder, Luigi, sits in on their planning meetings when new products are developed, so we know how things are made long before they reach the shelf.
We cook for you
In 2025 we opened our own kitchen at the market to cook with what we import: slow sauces, soups, trays to reheat at home. Some dishes are made to order, so they reach you fresh rather than after a week in a fridge.
We come to you
Our chefs can bring our produce and our skills into your home, for a dinner you actually get to sit down at. Meet our chefs →
How it reaches you
In Central London we deliver ourselves, by electric cargo bike, which overtakes the traffic more often than you'd think. The rest of the UK mainland goes by courier, and our wines come from our cellar in Fulham. No minimum order.
