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

"Bright straw-green with golden tinges. Varietally accurate aromas and flavors of Moscato Bianco (orange blossom, vanilla and sweet spices, grapefruit) are very fresh and clean. Finishes very long and lovely, with noteworthy energy and focus. One of the best Moscato d’Asti of the vintage." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)

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

"Vietti bietet einen begeisternd straffen Roero, der die Blütenaromen der Rebe strahlen lässt, ohne einen Hauch Niedlichkeit zuzulassen. Stattdessen frische Säure, tolle Herbe, saftiges Ende." Vinum

"As one of the best quality-minded estates in Barolo, Vietti has little claim to winemaking fame in the Roero appellation. Regardless, the 2017 Roero Arneis is one of the most successful interpretations of this white wine on the market today. It falls under that Vietti magic wand. The bouquet is true to the Arneis variety with aromas of bright citrus, white peach, wild sage, ash and natural rubber. The wine's appearance is luminous and bright." Robert Parker

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

"White pepper, cherry, tea, juniper and tobacco flavors dissolve into a swath of tannins that leave a grip on the finish. Though elegant, this feels more like a Barolo in profile and structure" Wine Spectator

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

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

"The 2016 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Scarrone sees fruit sourced from a vineyard site that is located right under the Vietti household. The vines are 29 years old and are therefore old enough to have lost their youthful vigor, resulting in rich and more concentrated fruit. This balanced and elegant expression offers black fruit aromas that are backed by healthy extraction and density. There is a point of bright acidity on the close. It adds chiseled intensity and focused sharpness." Robert Parker

"Such a perfumed and complex nose for a Barbera with pressed lavender, violets, orange peel and citrus. Medium to full body, layered and serious tannins and a medium-long, spicy yet taut finish." James Suckling

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

"Concentrated and fluid at once, this red features a combination of sweet plum, blackberry, dark chocolate and spice flavors, all backed by vibrant acidity and refined tannins, allowing the finish to build in a relaxed, lilting manner. Shows excellent harmony and complexity." Wine Spectator

"This wine is made from the oldest vines—most of which were planted 100 years ago—in the Scarrone vineyard. The 2016 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Vecchia Scarrone is an outstanding wine in my estimation. I love the depth and sheer dimension that it puts so effortlessly on display. You get powerfully concentrated black fruit that ultimately finds smooth balance against the fresh acidity and soft tannins of the grape. Luca Currado tells me it was impossible to make a bad wine in the classic 2016 vintage. He must be right." Robert Parker

"Brambleberries, black cherries, tobacco, hot stones and vanilla. The palate is packed full of concentration, edging out of finely intertwined, forest-floor nuances into dark fruit, before pinpoint acidity carries this long through the finish. All about depth and finesse." James Suckling

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." Antonio Galloni

Barbaresco Masseria in atemberaubender Komplexität, duftet Kirschen, Vanille und Kaffee. Konzentriert und und mit ruhiger Ernsthaftigkeit am Gaumen, mit Noten von Erde und Leder. Seidige Tannine im langen, rauchigen Nachhall. SUPERIORE.DE

"Call it the 2014 paradox: this controversial vintage has in fact produced some stellar wines, especially in the Barbaresco appellation. The 2014 Barbaresco Masseria is a softly textured wine with a yielding and velvety personality. It reveals a dark color and hearty disposition. It is generous and soft, requiring little cellar aging before it reaches its drinking prime. The 2014 vintage was hotter and saw less rain in Barbaresco compared to Barolo. Sandy soils in the Barbaresco appellation help to shape delicate and nuanced wines with bright floral and dark fruit aromas. Sandy soils dry out faster in the hot years because they drain any existing moisture too well. That's why a cooler and wetter vintage like 2014 is particularly well suited to Nebbiolo in Barbaresco." Robert Parker

"The 2014 Barbaresco Masseria is superb. Dark, ample and structured, the 2014 captures all the pedigree of this important Barbaresco vintage. As always, the Vietti's Masseria is a wine that has Barolo-like structure and depth, partly because it is vinified and aged pretty much along the same lines as those wines. I expect the 2014 will require at least a handful of years to shed some tannin and start showing some of its inherent inner sweetness. There is so much to look forward to. Bright acids and a firm spine of tannin give the red-toned fruit energy and vivacity throughout." Antonio Galloni
