Barolo Brunate Vietti 2020

From the historic Brunate vineyard in La Morra—located on the southern slope facing Barolo—featuring a planting density of 4,600 vines per hectare across a 1.6-hectare site.

The vines are approximately 43 years old. The soil is calcareous-clay. Fermentation involves 23 days in steel tanks in contact with the skins, comprising 3 days of cold pre-fermentation maceration followed by 18 days of fermentation and post-fermentation maceration at temperatures between 30°C and 32°C.

Daily pump-overs with aeration are performed using the traditional “submerged cap” technique. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barriques.

Tasting Notes

Vietti Barolo Brunate 2020. Intense ruby ​​red in color.

Dry, with a generous, harmoniously balanced body and a velvety structure. Classic style featuring ripe red fruit, a long finish, and great elegance.

Notes of spice, violet, and plum, along with the intense tar character typical of the Brunate cru.

Brunate is one of the Vietti wines that has shown the most improvement in recent years; it pairs beautifully with red meats, succulent roasts, and game.
