Verduno is a different side of Barolo. The northernmost municipality of the appellation lies on the Tanaro river, directly neighbouring the hills of Barbaresco – and the Monvigliero, the village's crowning amphitheatre, creates a mystery out of pleasure: Marne di Sant'Agata soils, 55% clay, 30% sand, 15% limestone, the slopes open to the south and south-west, 240 metres. A terroir with elements of Tortonian and Serravalian, which is geologically unique and produces Nebbiolo – and produces Nebbiolo that is more perfume than structure, more elegance than mass. Vietti adopts whole-cluster fermentation for this – a rare decision for Barolo, which gives Monvigliero the airy, herb-scented profile for which the vineyard is famous. The 44-year-old vines – dense, low-yielding, deeply rooted – were harvested at the end of September. Then three to four days of cold maceration, 20 days of maceration, malolactic fermentation in used barriques, 24 months in large wooden barrels.

Transparent, bright ruby red with an orange-coloured rim. On the nose, violets, roses, cola, blueberry, white pepper – ethereal and surprisingly still. Medium-bodied on the palate, with polished tannins, tiny tension and a long, salty, mineral finish. A whispering Barolo for connoisseurs. SUPERIORE.DE
