Vietti Barolo Brunate 2008  - First Bottle

Reviews

93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
The 2008 Barolo Brunate flows onto the palate with layers of dark fruit, spices, menthol and licorice. It is an unusually plush, generous wine for the year, endowed with tons of grace and sheer depth. This is a fabulous, layered Brunate that should drink well with a few more years in the bottle. Layers of sweet, perfumed fruit, rose petals and spices build effortlessly to the gracious, elegant finish. The Brunate is brooding and tannic, but the wine softens a bit with air. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028.
93 James Suckling -
A little lean but pretty cedar, vanilla and prune character on the nose and palate. Full body, chewy finish. Needs a couple of years to soften and open. Complex.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
These older Vietti's from excellent vintages have become highly sought-after in many Nebbiolo loving circles. The 2008 Vietti Brunate is drinking fantastically right now. If you're not feeling this bottle, we may not be able to help you. Just a handful of bottles available. First come, first served.

About the Producer

Located in the heart of the Langhe hills, at the top of the village of Castiglione Falletto, the Vietti wine cellar was founded in the late 1800s by Carlo Vietti. The estate has gradually grown over the course of time, and today the vineyards include some of the most highly-prized terroirs within the Barolo winegrowing area. Although they have been making wine for 4 generations, the turning point came in the 1960s when Luciana Vietti married winemaker and art connoisseur Alfredo Currado. In 2016 the historic winery was acquired by Krause Holdings, enabling Luca and Elena, always at the head of Vietti brand, to add a number of prized crus to the estate?s holdings, and be able as a result to look to a future with new, stimulating prospects, all while maintaining the family approach for which the cellar has always been known.
