With fruit from La Morra, the mid-weight 2018 Barolo Brunate shows a pretty softness and a delicate side with dried rose, lilac and blue flower. The wine completes malolactic fermentation in barrique and is later moved into large oak casks for aging. This dual oak treatment is part of Vietti's secret recipe for producing the silky tannins and fine texture you taste here. A production of 4,493 bottles, the wine is recognized by that distinctive aromatic finale of licorice and balsam herb.
Sweet raspberries and strawberries on the nose, as well as some chalky minerals. Full-bodied with a tight bead of fruit and mineral flavors that have a hand on the firm tannins and produce good focus and drive at the end. Needs time to integrate.
Delicate and pretty with some structure and tarriness but a delightful nose already. (JR)
A powerful, glowing ruby garnet. The nose opens with pronounced earthy notes of leather, a little tar and truffle, behind them fine blackberry and a subtle hint of hazelnut. Grippy, very intense tannins, a great deal of pressure on the palate, but also a very high proportion of harsh, drying components. Put it aside and forget about it for the next ten years.
