Vietti Barolo 21

Vietti is one of Barolo's most celebrated traditional estates, known for single-vineyard bottlings from historic sites including Rocche di Castiglione and Brunate. Even their entry-level Barolo is a serious wine: pure Nebbiolo from prime Langhe hillsides, the 2021 shows rose petal, dried cherry, tar, and firmly structured tannins that will reward patience. Decant generously or cellar 5+ years.
