The 2021 Vietti Barolo Half Bottle (375ml) is a beautifully crafted expression of classic Piedmont Nebbiolo, offering the elegance and structure of Barolo in a convenient half-bottle format. Sourced from select vineyards across the Barolo region, it displays lifted aromas of rose petal, red cherry, plum and wild berries layered with notes of tobacco, alpine herbs, spice and earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with vibrant acidity, fine yet powerful tannins and concentrated red fruit balanced by savoury depth and mineral tension. Hints of leather, liquorice and dried herbs carry through a long, refined and classically styled finish. The 2021 vintage is particularly impressive for its balance, purity and ageing potential, delivering exceptional quality for an "entry-level" Barolo.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent introduction to premium Barolo for customers wanting classic Nebbiolo character without committing to a full bottle. Elegant, structured and highly food-friendly, it pairs perfectly with braised meats, truffle pasta, mushroom risotto or aged cheeses. Decant if drinking young or cellar over the next 8–15 years.
