Tasting Notes for Vietti Barolo Brunate 2018
The Vietti Barolo Brunate 2018 is a refined and elegant wine, showcasing the very best of Piedmont’s iconic Barolo region. This vintage presents expressive aromas of ripe red fruits, intermingled with fragrant notes of spices and the characteristic violet scents that are hallmarks of the Brunate vineyard. As the wine opens, delicate nuances of liquorice emerge, leading to a long, satisfying finish that lingers on the palate.
The 2018 vintage was marked by a cooler growing season. After a rainy start, particularly in April, the summer brought slightly below-average temperatures. However, the conditions in September were ideal, with perfect diurnal temperature swings, promoting the ideal phenolic ripening of the Nebbiolo grapes. This unique weather pattern contributed to a vintage that is both elegant and classic, with the perfect balance of acidity, fruit expression, and tannic structure.

| Winery | The grapes are grown in the historical Cru vineyard Brunate in La Morra, south-facing towards Barolo. The vines are planted at 300 to 400 meters above sea level, where they experience good diurnal temperature shifts, which create a long hang time, allowing the grapes to build complexity and retain natural acidity gradually. The average age of the vines is 55 years, and the low-yielding vines are planted at a density of 4,600 vines per hectare and trained according to the Guyot trellis system. The soil is calcareous and clayey with the renowned Marne di Sant’Agata, a limestone-rich marl in which the Nebbiolo variety thrives and produces balanced, elegant wines. The vines are hand-harvested in October when the grapes have reached optimal maturity. |
