Vietti

Viettis Moscato d'Asti ist ein perfekter, leichter Aperitif und harmonischer Dessertbegleiter. Frisch und sehr fruchtig, ohne zu breit zu wirken. Einfach gelungen! (superiore.de)

Dolcetto Tre Vigne ist ein trockener und gut ausbalancierter Wein mit Potenzial. Satt Rubinrot mit violettem Einschlag besticht er mit einer angenehmen, leicht bitteren Mandelnote. (superiore.de)

Die Trauben für den Barbera d'Alba Tre Vigne stammen überwiegend von Weinbergen in Castiglione Falletto, ein kleiner Teil der Früchte kommt aus Ravera. (superiore.de)

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)

Barbera d'Alba Scarrone ist ein schön vielschichtiger, reicher Barbera. Aromen von dunklen duftigen Früchten, Gewürzen, Lakritze und Mineralien. Opulent und tadellos ausgeglichene, seidige Tannine, süße blumige Noten im langen Nachhall. (superiore.de)

"This year's Scarrone shows lots of ripe fruit but an underlying, subtle dark-chocolate and mineral undertone. Medium to full body, fresh acidity and a tangy finish. A more reserved style." James Suckling

"The 2012 Barbera d'Alba Scarrone is exceptionally polished and refined in this vintage. Dark red cherry, plum, cinnamon, and rose petal notes wrap around the palate in a Barbera with distinctly Nebbiolo-like overtones, especially in the aromatics. The sense of texture on the palate is pure Barbera, though. In 2012, the Scarrone is a bit laid back in style, yet there is no shortage of intensity. This is a terrific showing from Vietti." Antonio Galloni

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)

"The 2015 Barbera d'Asti La Crena is dense, powerful and packed with fruit. An intense, dark wine, the 2015 has layers of mineral and floral notes in the background that need time to emerge. It would be a shame to open the 2015 anytime soon. I always find La Crena only truly blossoms with time in bottle. Here, too, the style seems a bit laid back relative to the recent past." Antonio Galloni

"The 2015 Barbera d'Asti La Crena shows an evolved and sophisticated personality. Indeed, this wine is released one year later compared to a Barbera from Alba because fruit from neighboring Asti requires extra time to open. The nose is redolent of black fruit with background notes of wet earth and crushed mineral. These mineral tones give the wine an almost salty quality that would pair perfectly next to ham or grilled sausage." Robert Parker

"A lush, juicy Barbera, with vanilla and sweet spice tones shading the plum and black cherry fruit. The tannins are a touch dry on the finish." Wine Spectator

"The 2015 Barbera d'Alba Scarrone is striking in its beauty. Dark, sumptuous and enveloping, the 2015 captures all the personality of this vintage and site. The French oak seems noticeably toned down in the 2015, which allows the radiance of the fruit to come through loud and clear. Black cherry, blueberry jam, dark spice, leather and licorice are some of the many notes that give the wine its beguiling complexity. I would prefer to cellar the 2015 in order to gain some aromatic complexity. Today, the 2015 is all about fruit." Antonio Galloni

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)

"Vietti's flagship 2015 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Vecchia Scarrone is endowed with tremendous textural richness and power. In 2015, the two Scarrone Barberas are not that different from each other. Perhaps time will allow those differences to be clearer. For now, the Vigna Vecchia possesses superb density, with generous blueberry jam, mocha, licorice, spice, new leather and French oak all pushed forward." Antonio Galloni

"Dark and muscular, this red offers violet, blackberry, tar, molasses and earth notes. A wall of tannins seals off the finish for now, yet this remains long. Opens nicely with air, showing an almost Port-like intensity to the aromas." Wine Spectator

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

Barbaresco Masseria hat ein wunderschönes Bouquet aus purer Brombeere und Lavendel, vollmundig am Gaumen, komplex und reich, Tannin und Säure zeigen sich angenehm präsenr, langer Nachhall. (superiore.de)

"The 2013 Barbaresco Masseria is being released a bit earlier this year, but this is only relative because Vietti ages the wine one year longer than his peers. It sees a 30-day maceration period with submerged cap techniques. The fruit is also harvested a bit sweeter and softer on the vine. These methods account for the truly velvety and rich texture that characterize this beautifully opulent Barbaresco. It wraps thickly over the palate with dark fruit and spice flavors. On the Nebbiolo scale, this wine drinks more like a Barolo than a Barbaresco." Robert Parker

"The 2013 Barbaresco Masseria is fabulous. Large-scaled, ample and super-expressive, the 2013 possesses striking depth and intensity, while retaining tons of Nebbiolo nuance and translucence. Bright red cherry, cranberry, chalk and floral notes give the 2013 its aromatic intensity and lift. The flavors turn a bit darker and richer with time in the glass as the wine fills out its broad frame. Once again, Vietti's Barbaresco punches well above its weight. The Masseria emerges from a vineyard in Bricco di Neive and is essentially vinified and aged like a Barolo. In recent years, the Vietti single-vineyard wines have inched up in price. While none of the wines can be defined as a value, the Masseria offers exceptional quality for the money. Simply put, the 2013 Masseria is a total knock-out. Don't miss it!" Antonio Galloni
