Vietti

Case Format: 6x75cl

Drink To: 2045

ntense ruby-red colour. Explosive, powerful and generous nose. Fruity notes of plum, citron and grapefruit, along with spicy overtones. In the glass it gradually shows violet aromas, very typical of the Brunate vineyard. Full and intense on the palate. The tannins are soft, round and velvety, distinctive of the La Morra terroir. Licorice root noticeable on the finish.

The grapes are selected from the historical Cru Brunate, located in La Morra, on the south side towards Barolo, with about 4,600 plants per hectare. The average age of the vines is 54 years old; the soil is a mix of limestone and clay. The grapes are gently crushed and fermented for 3 weeks in stainless steel tanks with skin contact. This time includes pre- and post- fermentative maceration with the traditional method of submerged cap. Malolactic takes place in barriques.

CRITIC REVIEWS

Audrey Frick

The 2020 Barolo Brunate is a more approachable and open wine in the range, with aromas of candied berries, blackberries, rocky soil, and a hint of purple flowers. It’s rounder in the palate, with ripe tannins and a good fresh lift on the finish, with notes of tea leaf and dried apricots. There’s more stuffing, but it remains true to its character. Drink 2025-2040.

Monica Larner

The Vietti 2020 Barolo Brunate has a dark and spicy side that is infused throughout the fruit. Dark cherry and blackcurrant are folded into ferrous earth, grilled rosemary, aniseed and a hint of fresh mint. Brunate tends to be quite austere and firm in terms of its aromas, and this vintage shows those qualities well. In fact, the character of the site comes through clearly. The wine has a precise, angular personality, and the fruit feels compact. Only 4,988 bottles were made.
