Vietti Barolo Brunate La Morra 2021

Description

Product Description: An iconic Barolo cru expressed with depth and precision. Vietti’s Brunate 2021 comes from fifty-year-old Nebbiolo vines on La Morra’s southern slopes, rooted in the limestone-clay of the Marne di Sant’Agata. The site is one of the most prized in Barolo, producing wines of perfume, structure and longevity. Fermentation took place in steel with an extended submerged-cap maceration, followed by more than thirty months of ageing in large oak and barrique. The 2021 vintage shows remarkable focus and depth, balancing firm, chalky tannins with lifted aromatics. It carries the Brunate signature of red fruit, violet and mint, supported by spice, earth and subtle balsamic tones. Built for the cellar, this wine will reward patience well into the 2030s. Tasting Notes NOSE – Perfumed complexity Cherry, plum and raspberry with violet, mint, cinnamon and earthy spice.
