Vietti Barolo 2021

Description

Product Description Perfumed, poised and finely structured. The 2021 Vietti Barolo is a masterclass in balance and site expression, made from a blend of vineyard parcels across the Barolo DOCG. While this is the estate’s so-called “entry” Barolo, it overdelivers, capturing the depth, lift and classic tension that define great Nebbiolo. Vietti vinifies each cru separately to preserve character before blending. The result is a wine layered with rose, black raspberry, spice, violet and crushed herbs, underpinned by chalky tannins and brisk acidity. The 2021 vintage brings clarity and lift, offering both immediate appeal and cellaring potential. A standout vintage that rivals the precision of the cru bottlings. Tasting Notes NOSE – Explosive and seductive Aromas of plum, black and red cherries, blackberry, rose petals, tobacco, dried herbs, violets, and crushed stones. PALATE – Powerful and precise Juicy red berry fruit, blood orange, mint, licorice, and alpine herbs, supported by grainy tannins and lively acidity. FINISH – Structured and age-worthy Firm and chalky with lingering herbal, leathery, and mineral nuances—built for long-term cellaring. Reviews & Accolades Red fruit, strawberries, raspberries, dried herbs, violets, and crushed stones. Juicy and full-bodied with fine-grained tannins that become chewy toward the finish.
