Vietti Barolo Brunate 2011 is a full-bodied, single-vineyard Nebbiolo red wine from the Barbaresco appellation of Piedmont, northern Italy. Located in the village of Castiglione Falletto, Vietti was founded in the late 1800s by Carlo Vietti. The estate has gradually grown to become one of the most reputable producers Piedmont, boasting vineyard holdings in many of the most highly prized terroirs within the Barolo and Barbaresco appellations. This 2011 bottling is from the prestigious Brunate cru in La Morra. "Dark cherry, plum, smoke, menthol and spices meld together in the 2011 Barolo Brunate. Restrained and elegant in the glass, yet with fabulous depth, the 2011 Brunate is exceptionally beautiful. The rich, layered finish provides a glimpse of what the future holds. Today, the Brunate is a real showstopper." Vinous, 2014

A dark, exotic Barolo, the 2011 Brunate boasts tons of density and volume. Black cherry, plum, spice, licorice, new leather and menthol are some of the many nuances that flesh out in the glass. Ultimately, though, the 2011 is largely defined by the texture and amplitude of the year. Brunate is often slow out of the gate, so I will not be surprised if that is the case here as well. Ideally, readers should plan on giving the 2011 at least a few years in bottle to fully come together.Antonio Galloni1st March 2015
