    When Eugenio Palumbo, cellar master at Vietti, described the summer of 2022, he found a phrase that has echoed through the Langhe ever since: "Barolo grapes are usually harvested in wellies, not Crocs." A hot, dry year – the grapes were harvested 15 days earlier than usual, and the decisions made in the vineyard made all the difference. As in every year, grapes from around twenty different parcels flow into the Barolo – those portions that remain after selection for the single-vineyard wines. In 2022, a rare twist was added: this time, the Brunate, Cerequio and Villero vineyards were not released as independent MGA wines. Not the second selection, but their entire harvest was therefore channelled into this wine. Palumbo himself calls the result "a kind of super single vineyard" – and he is right.

    Bright ruby red in colour, slightly lighter than 2021, with cherry, liquorice, graphite, violet and a hint of blood orange on the nose – precise, fresh, with an accessibility that the vintage did not promise on paper. Balanced on the palate, with well-integrated tannins, invigorating acidity and a long, mineral final. 2022 as a surprise package – and this wine as its most honest expression. SUPERIORE.DE

    "The 2022 Barolo is terrific. Pliant, medium in body and layered, the 2022 is impeccable. It benefits from the inclusion of fruit from Brunate, Cerequio and Villero, none of which were bottled as vineyard-designates. Sweet red cherry, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco, mint and dried flowers build nicely in the glass. The 2022 is a bit slender, as so many wines are in this vintage." Vinous

    "A quite classic Barolo with licorice, graphite, dried cherries, blood oranges and violets. A bit of chocolaty depth. Medium-bodied, chewy and crunchy on the palate with firm, angular tannins, crisp acidity and a slightly dry yet savory finish." James Suckling

    "Vietti’s classic Barolo stands shoulder to shoulder with its single MGA bottlings. In fact, this vintage’s blend includes the best grapes from Brunate and Cerequio, as these weren’t bottled separately in 2022. It is vibrantly perfumed with rose potpourri, bergamot, sweet earth and raspberry. Sculpted and tight, the palate is assertively structured. Upfront tannins slice through supple fruit and acidity is brisk. The finish is a bit arid but, as a whole, this remains sophisticated. Mint and tobacco linger. This is a strong argument for blending in 2022." Decanter
