The 2020 Vietti Barolo Brunate is a benchmark single-vineyard Barolo from one of La Morra’s most celebrated crus. Brunate is renowned for producing wines that combine power with remarkable elegance, and the 2020 vintage captures this balance beautifully. The nose is intensely aromatic, offering layers of rose petal, red cherry and wild strawberry alongside notes of orange peel, dried herbs, tobacco and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with finely detailed tannins and vibrant acidity that provide structure and precision. Flavours of red plum, sour cherry and cranberry unfold across a complex palate, supported by savoury notes of earth, leather and crushed herbs. The wine displays impressive concentration while maintaining freshness and finesse, leading to a long, persistent finish marked by mineral detail and classic Nebbiolo character.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Barolo for collectors and Nebbiolo enthusiasts seeking one of Piedmont’s most revered vineyard expressions. Its depth and structure make it an excellent match for braised beef, truffle dishes, slow-cooked lamb, game meats and aged hard cheeses. While already showing exceptional detail with decanting, this wine is built for the cellar and is expected to evolve beautifully over the next 15–25 years.
