Vietti

Dolcetto d'Alba Tre Vigne ist ein trockener und gut ausbalancierter Wein mit schönem Potenzial. Satt Rubinrot mit violettem Einschlag besticht er mit einer angenehmen, leicht bitteren Mandelnote und ist ein profunder Vertreter seiner Herkunft und der beliebten Rebsorte. SUPERIORE.DE

Arneis-Masterclass: Strohgelb, reizende, nicht zu vordergründige Blumennase, frischer und reintöniger Geschmack mit Erinnerungen an Pfirsich und Banane, komplex, lang und rund. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is always such a delicious wine and one I could imagine pairing with a Thai salad or grilled shrimp. The 2018 Roero Arneis opens to fragrant aromas with spring flower, cut grass and white peach. This is a lean-bodied white with a bright, tonic and zesty personality." Robert Parker

Der große Barbera d'Asti Superiore Nizza La Crena duftet nach reifen roten Früchten, Heu und Gebäck, der gehaltvolle Geschmack mit einer herrlichen alkoholischen Wärme klingt mit feinen Kakaotönen lang nach. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense and polished, this version is saturated with blackberry, plum and vanilla flavors, all matched to a dense, refined structure. A chocolate thread graces the aftertaste." Wine Spectator

"The 2016 Barbera d'Asti La Crena is going to need many years to be at its most expressive. Then again, that is La Crena. Today, the 2016 is rich, dense and super-concentrated, with huge layers of fruit that cover the subtler notes that come through after several years in bottle. The energy and tension that are typical of Asti come through on the finish." Vinous

"A juicy and fruity barbera with blackberry and walnut character. Medium body, slightly firm tannins and a juicy finish." James Suckling

"This is a gorgeous wine, so creamy and rich. Luca Currado has hit the magic button here with the 2016 Barbera d'Asti La Crena. Beautifully ripe and succulent, and teeming with generous layers of bright fruit, this expression is opulent and complete. The vines used here in the so-called Vigna del Nove parcel are from the 1930s, with the first edition of La Crena produced by Vietti in 1996. This is a particularly elegant vintage, spreading vibrantly over the entire mouthfeel. I'd preserve the texture by serving it only with some light crackers and aromatic cheeses." Robert Parker

Barbera d'Alba Scarrone von gleichnamigem Weinberg ist ein schön vielschichtiger, reicher Barbera-Cru. Aromen von dunklen duftigen Früchten, Gewürzen, Lakritze und Mineralien. Opulent und tadellos ausgeglichene, seidige Tannine, süße blumige Noten im langen trockenen Nachhall. SUPERIORE.DE

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." VINOUS

"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

Perbacco zeigt im frischen Bouquet erst leicht blättrige Noten, danach viel Kirsche. Am Gaumen schön rund, viel reife Frucht, nach Kirschen und roten Beeren, unterlegt von feinkörnigem Tannin, langer Nachhall. SUPERIORE.DE

"Luca Currado likes to remind me that this wine could qualify as a full-fledged Barolo. Barrels not used in the final Barolo Castiglione blend are used to make the 2016 Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco. In fact, its very name “Perbacco” translates into a somewhat corny “golly gosh” because that was the reaction Luca’s mom had when she first tasted the wine and was told it was not a Barolo. “Perbacco, it tastes like Barolo,” was her comment—and a legend was born. The Vietti family, along with Bartolo Mascarello and Dott G Cappellano back in the day, had battled for some variation of a Rosso di Barolo in the appellation laws. That never happened, but Langhe Nebbiolo is a concept that follows that same idea: you get great Nebbiolo quality at a fraction of the price. Today, Langhe Nebbiolo is one of the fastest-growing categories in the entire wine region. This beautiful vintage, with its balanced fruit and freshness, is a perfect example." Robert Parker

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."

"Vietti's 2015 Barolo Castiglione is soft, silky and pliant, all qualities that make it a good choice for drinking now and over the next decade or so. Floral and nicely lifted, the 2015 is very pretty, if not quite the overachiever it can be. I expect the 2015 will be even more expressive once the tannins soften a bit further. In this tasting, the Castiglione stands out for its freshness and energy. Time in the glass brings out an extra layer of textural breadth and resonance that is not immediately apparent." Vinous

"Plenty of perfume here with abundant roses and violets, as well as spice-dusted red cherries and hints of orange rind. The palate has depth and density with a sense of power and detail to the tannins. Long, dense and fresh." James Suckling

"The 2015 Barolo Castiglione is a soft and elegant expression with marked freshness and delineated fruit. Indeed, Luca Currado maintains that 2015 was not a hot vintage per se, and any jammy notes that might appear in the vintage may have to do with an overzealous approach to leaf pulling during the summer season. Old habits die hard, he says, and leaving the leaves intact contributes to the color stabilization of the wine and the successful management of its acidity. From an analytical point of view, this wine does flaunt that much-needed inner crispness. It adds focus and sharpness to the layers of dark, succulent fruit that appear on first nose." Robert Parker

Vielschichtige Aromatik mit Noten von Waldbeeren, Schokolade und Minze, am Gaumen viel Kraft, Frucht und Fülle, würzig-opulentes Finale. Ein Barbera, der reifen kann und sollte ... Aber Obacht, denn die Minimalauflage dieses erlesenen Extrakts aus knapp 1,4 Hektar Rebberg ist meist in Windeseile ausverkauft. SUPERIORE.DE

Masseria stammt von einem Weinberg in Bricco di Neive und wird im Wesentlichen wie ein Barolo vinifiziert und ausgebaut. Beeindruckende Tiefe und Intensität, mit leuchtend roten Kirsch-, Preiselbeer-, Kreide- und Blumennoten. Am Gaumen dann voll aromatischer Intensität und Kraft, ohne je seinen Vietti-typischen Glanz zu verlieren. SUPERIORE.DE

"Energetic, displaying rich cherry, plum, menthol and tar aromas and flavors. This is dense and feels like it's closing down, but the lasting impression is of sweet fruit. Offers a long, succulent finish." Wine Spectator

"Vietti's 2015 Barbaresco Masseria is a dense, powerful wine that is going to need at least a few years to fully come together. In 2015, the Masseria is a decidedly potent, masculine Barbaresco, with huge tannins and tremendous fruit density. Time in bottle will help soften some of the edges, but I imagine the 2015 will always remain rather somber. Macerated dark cherry, scorched earth, new leather, tobacco and licorice add to an impression of virile intensity." Vinous

"The 2015 Barbaresco Masseria shows nice, delicate fiber and a silkiness that marks this rendition as one of the most subtle and refined in recent memory. It's a much more elegant approach than 2010, for example, another hot July and August growing season that produced very different results, perhaps with more rigidity at the back. Serve this softer wine from 2015 with some blue cheese or Gorgonzola." Robert Parker
