With fruit from La Morra, the mid-weight 2018 Barolo Brunate shows a pretty softness and a delicate side with dried rose, lilac and blue flower. The wine completes malolactic fermentation in barrique and is later moved into large oak casks for aging. This dual oak treatment is part of Vietti's secret recipe for producing the silky tannins and fine texture you taste here. A production of 4,493 bottles, the wine is recognized by that distinctive aromatic finale of licorice and balsam herb.

The 2018 Barolo Brunate is a deep, layered wine that is going to need at least a few years to come together. Today, the Brunate is quite primary and backward, but all the ingredients are there. Sage, menthol, licorice, dried flowers and spice build with a bit of coaxing.
Producer
Vietti
While the Vietti family can traces its roots back to the 19th century, it was not until the early 20th century that the Vietti name became associated with wine. Patriarch, Mariot Vietti is the man responsible for Vietti’s first wines. He completely transformed the family farm into a grape-growing and wine-producing business. Based in a quaint medieval village of Castiglione Falletto, the estate lies in the center of Piedmont’s renowned Langhe wine region. With years of commitment, the family winery became one of the leading producers in Piedmont. Under the leadership of Luciana Vietti’s husband, Alfredo Currado, the estate in the mid-1900s was amongst the first wineries to export to the United States, vinify grapes from single-vineyards, such as Brunate, Rocche and Villero, and reinvent the long-lost native variety, Arneis. Today, Arneis is the most celebrated white variety from the Roero region. Alfredo and Luciana’s son, Luca joined the winery’s team in 1990, focusing on both innovative vinification techniques, as well as, meticulous and organic cultivation in the vineyard. As the fourth generation settles in, the Vietti winery continues to astound wine enthusiasts and critics with their artfully handcrafted wines.
