2020 Barolo Brunate DOCG, Vietti *Rehoboam 5L*

2020 Barolo Brunate DOCG, Vietti *Rehoboam 5L*

Barolo, Piedmont, Italy

The Crown Bell of La Morra

This is Barolo with grandeur in full voice. In Rehoboam, Brunate feels not just bottled, but enthroned: a great Nebbiolo for ceremony, patience and a table that understands the value of anticipation. It opens with red cherry, plum, rose, violet and blood orange, before deeper notes of tar, liquorice, cedar, tobacco, dried herbs, spice and crushed stone begin to unfold.

The palate is broad, precise and beautifully commanding, with ripe Nebbiolo tannins giving structure to red fruit, citrus peel, savoury spice and mineral depth. There is the elegance of La Morra here, but also real authority, a velvet power that moves slowly and leaves a long, resonant finish. Open with reverence, decant with patience, or cellar for a future occasion worthy of the bottle.

For when the table needs a centrepiece with history, theatre and serious intent.
Pairs with truffle risotto, braised beef, wild mushroom tajarin, roast duck, game, aged parmesan, slow-cooked lamb, or a long winter lunch that turns into dinner.
If this wine were… a bell, it would be cast in old bronze and rung from a hilltop above La Morra, carrying across the vineyards at dusk.

Vietti is one of Piemonte’s great historic producers, with 19th-century origins in Castiglione Falletto. Its 2020 Barolo Brunate is listed by the estate as Barolo DOCG, 100% Nebbiolo, from the historic Brunate MGA vineyard in La Morra, a site with limestone and clay-rich soils and vines averaging around 50 years old. Vietti’s gift is making wines that feel both deeply rooted and highly expressive, combining tradition, precision, artistry and the unmistakable nobility of great Barolo.

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.
