2020 Barolo Brunate DOCG, Vietti

2020 Barolo Brunate DOCG, Vietti

Barolo, Piedmont, Italy

The La Morra Crown

This is Barolo with poise, depth and a beautifully measured sense of occasion.  It opens with red cherry, plum, rose, violet and blood orange, before darker notes of tar, liquorice, cedar, tobacco, dried herbs, spice and crushed stone begin to unfold.

The palate is broad, precise and finely structured, with Nebbiolo’s tannins giving shape to red fruit, citrus peel, savoury spice and mineral depth. There is La Morra perfume here, but also Brunate’s unmistakable authority, a combination of grace, power and long, resonant persistence. Decant if opening now, or cellar for decades.

For when you want a serious bottle with celebration built in.
Pairs with truffle risotto, braised beef, wild mushroom tajarin, roast duck, game, aged parmesan, slow-cooked lamb, or a long lunch that deserves a centrepiece.
If this wine were… a crown, it would be old gold and garnet, lifted from a velvet case and placed gently in the middle of the table.

Vietti is one of Piemonte’s great historic producers, based in Castiglione Falletto with roots reaching back to the late 1800s. The estate helped pioneer single-vineyard Barolo and remains closely associated with some of the region’s finest crus. It's 2020 Brunate is Barolo DOCG, made from 100% Nebbiolo from the historic Brunate MGA vineyard in La Morra, where limestone and clay-rich soils help shape a wine of perfume, structure and quiet power.

The Vietti family has produced fine wine from the heart of the Langhe since the 1800s, when Carlo Vietti established the winery in the medieval village of Castiglione Falletto. At the end of the 1950s, Alfredo Currado, husband of Luciana Vietti, introduced the idea of producing single vineyard crus in Barolo and Barbaresco and in 1961 one of the very first Barolo Crus was produced by Vietti: Rocche di Castiglione. Alfredo was known locally as the ‘Father of Arneis’ as he dedicated time and research into reviving the nearly extinct Arneis variety. Passionate about fine art, in 1974 Alfredo and Luciana started incorporating beautiful works of art on their iconic wine labels. In the 1990s their son and fourth generation winemaker, Luca Currado Vietti, continued the family winemaking legacy. In 2016, the Krause family purchased Vietti and worked alongside Luca until his retirement in 2023. They further developed the estate with the purchase of new, renowned crus in Barolo and Barbaresco, and in Colli Tortonesi where Timorasso flourishes. In 2022, Vietti was awarded 'Winery of the Year' by Antonio Galloni, Vinous.

The grapes were destemmed and gently crushed before being transferred into stainless steel tanks for fermentation, where they spent three weeks with skin contact, including pre-and post-fermentation maceration, using the traditional submerged cap method. The wine was transferred to oak where malolactic conversion took place. The wine was matured for 32 months in large Slavonian and French oak casks and was bottled without filtration.
