The 2021 Vietti Barbaresco Roncaglie is a beautifully refined single-vineyard Nebbiolo from one of Barbaresco’s most prestigious crus, showcasing elegance, perfume and classic Piedmont structure. Sourced from the renowned Roncaglie MGA in Barbaresco, it opens with lifted aromas of rose petal, raspberry, wild strawberry and blood orange layered with spice, tobacco, dried herbs and earthy mineral complexity.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with vibrant acidity, silky yet structured tannins and remarkable precision. Notes of red cherry, cranberry, liquorice and savoury spice flow through a long, polished and finely detailed finish. The 2021 vintage is particularly celebrated for its balance, finesse and ageing potential, combining concentration with exceptional freshness and elegance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Barbaresco for customers seeking a more elegant and perfumed alternative to Barolo while still offering serious complexity and cellar potential. Sophisticated, structured and beautifully balanced, it pairs perfectly with truffle dishes, braised meats, mushroom risotto or aged cheeses. Decant if drinking young or cellar confidently for 12–18+ years.
