Barolo

Der Barolo Paesi Tuoi wurde nach dem Roman von Cesare Paveses "Unter Bauern" von 1941 benannt. Weiter, warmer Duft nach Sauerkirschen, Leder und Minze. Der ausdrucksstarke Geschmack harmonisch einnehmend mit seidigen Tanninen. Ein sauber vinifizierter, genussreifer Barolo mit Potenzial. SUPERIORE.DE

Waldfrüchte im Bouquet, dazu Tusche, Tabak und Enzian. Der saftige, volle Geschmack wird durch samtene Tannine von nur sehr geringer Adstringenz unterstützt und durchläuft im Glas eine großartige Entwicklung, die schon heute begeistert. SUPERIORE.DE

"The fact that Domenico Clerico has re-introduced its base Barolo is great news. The 2012 Barolo is a beautifully rich and generous wine that pulls out the best of the Nebbiolo grape (sourced mostly from the Ginestra vineyard) and the opulent style of winemaking that defines Domenico Clerico. There is a good amount of oak present, but the way it is integrated is always a source of stylistic inspiration. Dark fruit and blackberry preserves segue to cinnamon, sweet smoke and grilled herb." Robert Parker

"Love the aromas of black truffles and dark fruits that follow through to a full body, round and velvety tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Spicy and rich." James Suckling

Barolo Vigneto Garretti duftet einladend floral nach kleinen, weißen Blüten, Beeren und Gewürzen. Am Gaumen Frische, mittlerer Körper und feste Tannine, man spürt das große Potenzial. Barolo Garretti ist ein Wein von den Hängen des La Spinetta-Anwesens in Grinzane Cavour. Zuvor wurden diese Trauben im Barolo Campé verwendet. SUPERIORE.DE

"Lots of sweet tobacco leaves, rose petals and dried-strawberry character. Full body, velvety tannins and a fruity, smoky and light earth finish. Dense and unique." James Suckling

"The 2013 Barolo Vigneto Garretti is soft, succulent and open-knit, all qualities that make it an excellent choice for drinking now and over the next few years. Sweet red cherry, plum, cinnamon, leather, mint and French oak overtones give the wine its opulent, flamboyant personality. The 2013 spent 18 months in mostly neutral oak." Antonio Galloni

"A savory, floral-scented red, this displays rose, wild thyme, juniper, eucalyptus and cherry flavors. There’s fine grip, but this is balanced overall, with excellent length and a savory, spicy aftertaste." Wine Spectator

Dunkles Rubinrot, tiefes, komplexes Weinbeerenroma mit Noten von Minze, Basilikum und Zimt. Am Gaumen solide, fleischig, voll und lang im Abgang. Ein wunderbarer Barolo di Serralunga - wie gut wird er erst in den nächsten Jahren sein?! SUPERIORE.DE

"This opens with aromas of underbrush, scorched soil, leather, iris and a balsamic note. The ripe, full-bodied palate offers juicy raspberry, licorice, mature black cherry and a hint of tobacco alongside firm, velvety tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"Just mid ruby with the beginning of orange tinges. Austere at first with notes of spice and minerally, sweet fruit. Tannic grip as well as fruit concentration. More about elegance than Serralunga power, but quite complete. Closes up a little." Jancis Robinson

Barolo Albe ist mit Tabak-, Veilchen- und Beerentönen sehr vielschichtig und facettenreich im Bouquet. Tief und anhaltend am Gaumen mit eleganter Tanninstruktur und angenehmer Säureader, lang anhaltend. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intensiv-dunkles Rubinrot mit funkelndem Kern. Tiefsinnige und vielschichtige Nase nach dunklen Brombeeren, reifen Amarenakirschen, im Nachhall leicht nach Schießpulver. Breitet sich schön am Gaumen aus, hat gut integrierte Säure und feinmaschiges Tannin, bleibt lange und fruchtig im Finale." Falstaff

"Cherry, leather, spice and leafy underbrush flavors walk the line between sweet fruit and bitter tannins. Finds balance in concert with the delicate frame. Fine length." Wine Spectator

"A tribute to local tradition, the 2014 Barolo Albe represents an assembly of fruit from various vineyard plots throughout the area. Winemaking is classic in approach with a 25-day maceration period and aging in large Slavonian oak casks. This vintage shows silky, fine lines and a more accessible approach for near and medium-term drinking" Robert Parker

"Vajra's 2013 Barolo Albe is beautifully perfumed, sensual and expressive in this vintage, with a bit less overt fruit and more aromatic/structural intensity than is often the case. The style of the Albe has always favored a more succulent expression of Nebbiolo that is quite different from the single-vineyard wines, but the 2013 suggests Vajra may be moving the Albe closer in line stylistically to their other Barolos, which I think is a positive. In any event, there is an element of restraint in the 2013 that is hugely appealing. The Albe is a blend of fruit from Fossati, Coste di Vergne and La Volta aged in 75 hectoliter casks. The Albe may be the single best value in Barolo today. As for the 2013, don't miss it!" Antonio Galloni

"Aromas of fresh-cut hay and grass shade the flavors of cherry, black currant, violet and tobacco in this elegant, taut red. A little compact now on the finish, yet should stretch out with some age." Wine Spectator

Boscareto aus Serralunga d'Alba duftet intensiv nach Leder und Lakritz, Trockenblumen und Unterholz, geradlinig verfolgt der runde, duftentsprechende Geschmack seinen Weg ins anhaltende Finale. SUPERIORE.DE

"A red with strawberry, cherry and shaved-chocolate character. Very delicate and subtle. Medium body, fine tannins and a lightly austere finish." James Suckling

"Forest floor, porcini mushroom, truffle, moist soil, red berry, sage, mocha and leather sensations all emerge on this young wine. It’s still tightly tannic and brooding so give it time to unwind." Wine Enthusiast

"From a beautifully balanced vintage that saw a long growing season (something Nebbiolo loves), the 2010 Barolo Boscareto is a great near or medium-term drinking option. The wine presents a steady flow of dark berry, spice and button mushroom aromas. The finish is linear and focused with savory notes of grilled herb and cured bresaola on the close." Robert Parker

Barolo Brunate - Cru aus La Morra - zeigt die charakteristische Kraft und Definition seines Terroirs. Die dunkle Frucht ist umhüllt von Schokolade und exotischen Gewürzen, feste Tannine und feine Eichenholznuancen geben zusammen mit der straffen Säureader Länge und Langlebigkeit. SUPERIORE.DE

"A wine with watermelon, plum and peach character. Full body, chewy tannins and a pretty depth of ripe fruit." James Suckling

"It starts with an alluring fragrance of rose, forest floor, and cake spices. The vibrant, subtle palate doles out crunchy red cherry lightly accented with notes of clove and cinnamon alongside silky tannins." Wine Enthusiast

Essenze Barolo Riserva wird nur in den besten Jahrgängen vinifiziert. Er ist eine Assemblage der besten Trauben aus den Weingärten der Comune del Barolo. Ätherischer Duft, etwas Walderde, Teer, Tabak und Gewürze. Ein wunderbar ausgewogener Barolo mit feinem Säure- und Tanningerüst und schöner Fruchtkomponente - ganz im Stil des Hauses und gemacht für ein langes Leben! SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of dried rose, espresso, star anise and a touch of oak lead the way. The austere, medium-bodied palate offers dried red cherry, licorice and tobacco set against taut, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. It's elegantly austere and still has years ahead of it." Wine Enthusiast

"Dried strawberries on the nose, showing great freshness for a decade of age. A seriously concentrated wine with seamless harmony despite the serious tannin structure. The finish is lifted by a bright acidity." James Suckling

Barolo Castiglione ist der preiswerteste der fünf Barolo des Hauses und demonstriert eindrucksvoll das hohe Niveau Viettis. Er beginnt seinen großen Auftritt mit dichten Aromen von getrockneten Kirschen, Pflaumen und Teer und fügt dann Noten von weißen Blumen und Gewürzen an. Es folgen mineralische Schattierungen und Erinnerungen an Rauchfleisch. Am Gaumen ebenso vielschichtig und komplex, griffig die seidigen Tannine. Er besitzt bereits in jüngeren Jahren eine feine Frucht und Finesse, die ihn als einen der herausragenden Vertreter der Appellation identifiziert. SUPERIORE.DE

"An array of berries and cherries with a floral sheen. Bright and attractive. The palate has a layer more than most, offering sour cherries and tangy, cherry-pip flavors in a supple, balanced style." James Suckling

"This is a terrific and flexible expression of Nebbiolo that can adopt to almost any dinner party setting. The 2014 Barolo Castiglione was designed for people who want to enjoy Barolo in an easy and direct manner. This Barolo is offered at higher production numbers, although this vintage is comparatively smaller. On average they make anywhere from 44,000 to 53,000 bottles, but in 2014 only 35,000 bottles were produced. The bouquet here is generous and broad with dark fruit, spice and tar. You even get a touch of citrus or dried orange peel. The mouthfeel is a bit thinner and more delicate in this vintage. Yet the tannins leave a firm footprint and promise a good aging future ahead." Robert Parker

"The 2014 Barolo Castiglione is superb. Nuanced, layered and sculpted in the glass, the Castiglione is a wine of real precision and class. In 2014, the Castiglione is medium in body and gracious, with perhaps a bit less stuffing than in some previous editions, but tons of persistence. Hints of lavender, rose petal and red berry fruit lead into the crystalline, translucent finish. Time in the glass brings out this gorgeous Barolo's more refined side. Once again, the Castiglione is a real overachiever. The Castiglione is built on a core of Ravera, with a complement of fruit from other sites that are often vineyard-designated by other producers." Antonio Galloni

Barolo Castiglione kommt aus 11 verschiedenen Lagen und ist seit Jahren das preiswerte Entrée in die Welt der feinen Barolo von Vietti. Mit großer Sorgfalt in Weinberg und Keller entsteht hier ein Tropfen, der uns jedes Jahr aufgrund seiner Opulenz bei gleichsam wunderschöner Eleganz begeistert. Mit seiner dominanten Frucht steht er voll und rund im Glas, zeigt eine feine Leder- und Mentholnote und gibt in seinem Gesamtauftritt einen perfekten Vorgeschmack auf die großen Einzellagen des Weinguts. Wie jedes Jahr sollte man ihm einige Jahre geben, bevor man seine ganze Kraft und Finesse entdeckt. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is a very fruit-forward Barolo with lots of dried-berry and rose-petal character. Full-bodied, round and soft-textured. Generous." James Suckling

"The 2013 Barolo Castiglione is a terrific success story. This is the estate's bread and butter Barolo. Fruit is sourced throughout the Castiglione Falletto township. The wine is consistent and steady, offering amazing value and quality with each new release. The nose is generous and full. It imparts fresh fruit and dark cherry aromas with tar, smoke and licorice at the back. Evident structure gives the wine a firm backbone and will carry it through the next decade of cellar aging." Robert Parker

"The 2013 Barolo Castiglione is rich, powerful and intense, especially for what is the estate's entry-level Barolo. Dark cherry, plum, spice, new leather and menthol are all used together. Intense and voluptuous, the Castiglione shows the richer, more intense side of the vintage. Time in the glass helps release the aromatics and the brighter side of Nebbiolo. Quite simply, the 2013 is a super Barolo Castiglione that is starting to close the qualitative gap with the single vineyard Barolos." Antonio Galloni

"Vietti has produced a Castiglione bottling since 1971. Though the name suggests provenance solely from the commune of Castiglione Falletto, parcels in Monforte d'Alba, Barolo and Novello also contribute to this complex, masculine expression. Deep wild forest berries, iron and tar are evident on the nose. Though still tightly wound, the palate offers raspberry, redcurrant and baking spice alongside appetising acidity and a stony grip. An impressive stepping stone to Vietti's fantastic crus." Decanter

Warmes Granatrot. Im Bouquet Kirsche, Rosenholz und etwas Teer. Durch und durch mächtiger, maskuliner Barolo mit einem Füllhorn von Frucht, robusten Tanninen und einem höchst lebendigen Abgang. Braucht noch 5-8 Jahre bis zum Beginn der optimalen Trinkreife. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of dark truffles, dried strawberries and rose stems following through to a full body with round and chewy tannins. A rich finish. This is very structured and tannic." James Suckling
