    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
