Wine Overview

The Vietti Barbaresco Roncaglie 2020 Magnum stands as a testament to the excellence of Piedmont’s renowned Barbaresco region. Crafted entirely from Nebbiolo, this rich and refined wine offers an exceptional expression of the terroir, showcasing the power and elegance the region is celebrated for. With a generous 14% ABV and full-bodied structure, the 2020 vintage presents a harmonious balance of fruit intensity, oak spice, and delicate tannins. The wine’s refined profile is complemented by soft, silky tannins, a signature of the estate’s meticulous winemaking process.

Tasting Notes

The Vietti Barbaresco Roncaglie 2020 Magnum opens with a complex bouquet of red and dark fruits, enhanced by subtle oak spice. The mouthfeel is rich, with the wine enveloping the palate in a velvety texture. A striking hint of almond emerges on the finish, leaving a lasting, elegant impression. The tannins are finely structured, providing both depth and smoothness, while the wine’s acidity offers freshness and balance.

The 2020 vintage is defined by the warm growing season, beginning with a dry early year, followed by substantial spring rainfall and a hot summer with regular rains. The September weather provided a perfect balance, allowing for full phenolic ripening of the Nebbiolo grapes. This resulted in grapes of great intensity, concentration, and maturity, making the 2020 vintage an ideal choice for ageing.

Ideal Pairings

This Barbaresco is best enjoyed with dishes that complement its richness and structure. Pair with roasted meats, game birds, or hearty pasta dishes like agnolotti with rich sauces. For a more classic match, try it with a well-aged cheese like Parmigiano Reggiano or a creamy Gorgonzola.
