Vietti, a family-run estate in Castiglione Falletto, is renowned for its commitment to traditional winemaking practices and the expression of unique terroirs. The winery emphasises meticulous vineyard management and minimal intervention in the cellar to produce wines of elegance and complexity.

The Brunate vineyard, situated in the commune of La Morra, is characterised by its calcareous clay soils and south-west exposure at an altitude of approximately 230 to 400 metres. Vietti's holdings in this esteemed cru yield Nebbiolo grapes of exceptional quality. In 2015, the grapes were hand-harvested and underwent fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by ageing for 32 months in a combination of barriques and large Slavonian oak casks.

The 2015 Barolo Brunate presents a deep ruby hue. The nose offers a complex bouquet of dark cherries, plums, and subtle notes of liquorice and leather. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, showcasing flavours of ripe red fruit, balsamic spices, and a mineral undertone. The fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity contribute to a harmonious structure, leading to a long, persistent finish. This Barolo exemplifies the elegance and depth characteristic of the Brunate cru and is poised for graceful ageing over the next two decades.

Reviews

"This has a rather reserved nose with dried-herb, rosehip, potpourri and light cedary aromas, ahead of fragrant dried cherries. The palate has quite dense and smoothly rendered, ripe tannins that deliver a long, composed and approachable Barolo. Drink or hold."
"The Barolo Brunate was not made in 2014 because of hail damage. Instead, all the fruit was diverted to the Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco instead. This newest release, the 2015 Barolo Brunate, definitely makes up for the lost ground. This is an explosive and absolutely exuberant expression of Nebbiolo from a vineyard site in La Morra near M. Marengo’s property. Vietti farms two parcels here, a higher side of the vineyard and a lower one (near Damilano and Ceretto). These lower parts of Brunate perform very nicely in the cooler vintages. Instead, this warm vintage expression puts a lot of its fruit depth and personality upfront in a confident and no-fuss manner. You absolutely know what you are getting here, even at the first sniff of the bouquet. The wine proceeds to open and blossom before your nose, offering dark fruit, rose, spice and a very linear mineral tone at the back. That linear flinty note is just terrific."
