Description

Grapes harvested by hand on September 30, 2020. This vineyard is historically recognized as one of the most suitable for whole-grape winemaking (approx. 60%).

One of the palest and most perfumed Barolos from Vietti with a transparent, ruby-orange hue. This is a super nuanced, elegant, expressive and ethereal Monvigliero that grows on me, with enchanting notes of grilled grapefruit, thyme, frozen raspberries and mineral. A subtle splash of white pepper and mezcal-like smokiness. Really refined and transparent, with some citrus and mineral tensions that are closely knit withVI the fine, crumbled tannins. So much finesse and detail here, and its complexity will continue to unwind. Really composed, soulful and mind-blowing! A big wow that deserves attention. Vegan. Best with a Burgundy glass. Can drink now or from 2027. - 99 points, Top 100 Wines of Italy 2024

About the region

Piedmont · Barolo

Piedmont, or Piemonte, sits in Italy's north-west under the Alps. Its great grape is Nebbiolo, which ripens late, is often picked in autumn fog, and reaches its fullest expression in the Langhe hills at Barolo and Barbaresco. Those wines are pale and firmly tannic when young, and turn to tar, dried rose and truffle with age. Alongside them Barbera and Dolcetto supply the everyday reds, and Moscato d'Asti the sweet, lightly sparkling whites.
