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 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

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

Die Trauben für den jedes Jahr beeindruckenden Barbera d'Alba Tre Vigne stammen überwiegend von Weinbergen in Castiglione Falletto, ein kleiner Teil der Früchte kommt aus Ravera. Schwarzkirsche, Pflaume, Schokolade, Leder, Lakritze, Gewürze und Menthol werden hier in einem berauschenden, exotisch reifen Tropfen präsentiert, der bereits in jungen Jahren sehr viel Freude bereitet.

"This is the most accessible of the five expressions of Barbera (from both Alba and Asti) made by Vietti. The 2018 Barbera d'Alba Tre Vigne opens to dark cherry and blackberry with good textural richness at the back. There is a lot of fruit fiber and support here to counter the abundant blackberry and cherry flavors that are so characteristic of this grape." Robert Parker

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 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

"Licorice, burnt blackberries, tea leaves and dried spices are in play. Full body. Lightly grainy tannins bring structure and gravitas to the mix." James Suckling

"The 2017 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Scarrone is a rich, powerful wine. Sweet tobacco, cedar, licorice and wild red cherry add striking aromatic nuance. Once an inky, dark wine, Scarrone has become more refined in recent years, which also means it is a bit less immediate, but will be more nuanced in time. There is certainly plenty to look forward to here." Vinous

"Though rich and fruity, this red is also dense and muscular, featuring violet, blackberry and black plum flavors enmeshed with the thick texture. Touches of spice and graphite add depth as this cruises to a lingering finish. Shows fine balance and length." Wine Spectator

"The Vietti 2017 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Scarrone is defined by a spot of sweetness backed by generous layers of dried blackberry, plum and black cherry. This vintage offers a generous level of intensity that is soft and almost succulent in character. There is so much primary fruit in this wine, but the complexity and the varietal character of the grape remain beautifully intact nonetheless." Robert Parker

"A wine with a diehard fan club, the Vietti 2017 Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco drinks like a young Barolo but costs a fraction of the price. I really need to say little more because that accurately sums up the vast appeal of this classic and versatile Nebbiolo. The bouquet is expressive and fresh with wild berries, blue flowers, spice and tobacco. Besides a bit more color concentration that you might notice in the wine's appearance, Perbacco magically shows no sign of the hot vintage." 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

"Planted in 1918, Vietti's oldest plot of Barbera is located in the Scarrone cru, overlooking its underground cellars in Castiglione Falletto. The vines naturally yield a low 1kg per plant. Remarkably concentrated, fleshy fruit is enveloped in soft, luxurious tannins. Juicy through the core with hints of fennel and peppermint, it offers black currants, black cherry and plum flavours. This could do with an additional year in bottle but will hold brilliantly for another decade." Decanter

"The 2017 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Vecchia Scarrone is positively gorgeous. Savory, nuanced and beautifully layered in the glass, the 2017 possesses tremendous complexity and character - the brutally hot year notwithstanding. It is also very different from the straight Scarrone Barbera, which has not always been the case of late. I would prefer to cellar the 2017 for at least a few years." Vinous

"Made with precious old vines, some of which have reached the 100-year mark, the Vietti 2017 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Vecchia Scarrone is a deep, dark and luscious red wine. It tops the charts in terms of color intensity and fruit heft. The concentration and density of the wine is considerable; however, the mouthfeel never feels heavy or overdone. Yes, this is a dark and brooding Barbera, but that fresh acidity gives the wine a little skip and jump in its proverbial footsteps. That condensed fruit is followed by rusty nail, crushed stone and black licorice." 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

"Dunkel leuchtendes Rubinrot. Offene und einladende Nase nach sehr satten Erdbeeren, von eleganter Würze unterlegt, Orangenmarmelade, Veilchenduft. Zeigt sich am Gaumen mit eng gewobenem Tannin und dichtem Trunk, satte Preiselbeere, mineralischer Unterton, strahlender Verlauf, hat Power!" Falstaff

"While the exact blend of parcels varies from year to year, the backbone of Castiglione always comes from the Ravera cru of Novello. It has a dark and brooding character and takes time to open up. Winter mint, cedar and an intriguing earthiness offset nuances of red cherry and violets as they slowly emerge. Firm, vertical tannins shore up the palate but remain effortlessly sophisticated in this powerful and dense Barolo." Decanter

"Appealing aromas and flavors of rose, black currant, cherry, earth and tobacco mark this harmonious red, which is beautifully balanced and lingers with accents of fruit, earth and tobacco." Wine Spectator

"The 2016 Barolo Castiglione is a dazzling wine that will show readers just how compelling this vintage is, even among entry-level wines from top producers. Rich, ample and explosive, the 2016 possesses tremendous richness and resonance from the very first taste. Bright red cherry and red plum fruit, wild flowers, mint, blood orange and spice build as this sumptuous, dramatic Barolo shows all it's got. As always, the Castiglione is built on a core of fruit from Ravera. In 2016, the Castiglione benefits from the inclusion of several new sites, including Ginestra, Mosconi, Bricco Ravera (in Monforte), Le Coste, Costabelle, Meriame, Briccolina and Codana. All I can say is: What a wine!" Vinous

"The Vietti 2016 Barolo Castiglione opens to a grounded and authentic profile with hints of mint, balsam herb and tilled earth. The primary fruit is neatly folded into all those other components, and all received equal billing when the final results are counted. The entry-level Castiglione is always the most accessible of Vietti's Baroli, but this vintage shows a heightened level of intensity, complexity and freshness. Those silky tannins are followed by beautiful menthol brightness. This is a real charmer." Robert Parker

"Tight and focused with racy, fine tannins. I like the bright fruit and vivid acidity. Cedar, berry and white-truffle flavors. Tight and linear. Needs time to open." James Suckling

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

"A ripe, concentrated version, this offers saturated flavors of blackberry, black cherry and plum, with hints of chocolate and spice. Vibrant and juicy, offsetting the firm structure." Wine Spectator

"This is a very impressive nose indeed for a Barbera, dripping in smoke, dried lavender, licorice, elderberries and herbal liqueur. Despite the exuberant initial impression, the palate is polished and suave, casting a web of neatly arranged tannins amidst plush dark fruit." James Suckling

"The 2017 Barbera d'Asti La Crena opens to all the sunshine, exuberance and richness that come with wines from this hot vintage. Barbera is one of the few grapes in Italy's repertoire of indigenous varieties that welcomes the scorching summer heat ("bring it on," it beckons). It maintains its acidity and tart berry profile despite the soaring temperatures. This is more evident with fruit from the Asti area. This wine offers textual weight all backed by tangy freshness. La Crena is partially made with fruit from old vines, planted some 90 years ago." Robert Parker

Viettis Barolo Brunate ist duftig und klar, intensiv nach Rosen und Himbeeren, verführerische süße Fruchtnoten. Auch am Gaumen sehr klar und geradlinig mit dichtem Tannin, schöne Tiefe und lang. SUPERIORE.DE

"From one of the region’s most celebrated vineyards, the 2009 Barolo Brunate lavishes on smoky, granite and mineral notes that make this wine absolutely irresistible. Even the drawing of a snail on the label seems to hammer home one obvious point: This wine is built for longer cellaraging. Its rich texture, velvety feel and firm structure are guaranteesthat it will become increasingly elegant and finessed with time." Robert Parker

"Wonderful depth of ripe fruit on the nose with a purity andfreshness. Full body, with integrated tannins and a caressing mouthfeel. Pretty fruit character. Brunate made excellent wines in 2009." JamesSuckling

"Sattes, glänzendes Rubin mit leichtem Granatschimmer. Konzentrierteund ansprechende Nase, satt nach reifen Waldbeeren, vor allem Himbeere und Brombeere, tiefgründig, im Hintergrund etwas weißer Pfeffer. Geschliffenes und sattes Tannin am Gaumen, breitet sich schön aus, zeigt auch satten Schmelz, im Finale herzhaft, sehr langer Nachhall." Falstaff

"Luca recently purchased more land in the Lazzarito cru. The 2009 Barolo Lazzarito delivers subdued notes of red rose and violet that build inintensity as the wine takes on more air in the glass. Black fruit, plum, cassis, leather, tar and licorice soon follow suit. This wine is anabsolute, drop-dead stunner. Its tannic crispness makes it feel livelyand buoyant in the mouth. The wine shows heft and importance that become firmly etched in the mouth. Each time I went back to the glass, thewine told a new story." Robert Parker

"A beautiful core of blueberry and strawberry fruit in this wine - structured yet very fine. It's full-bodied, with polished and fine tannins and a long, long finish. Lots of subtle mineral and milkchocolate character here." James Suckling

Der Barolo Rocche '09 präsentiert sich solide und vielschichtig und bringt Tabak-, Anis- und Würznoten zum Ausdruck, für eine würzige und anhaltende Trinkreife." SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2009 Barolo Rocche is a solid, unwavering expression that brings the intensity meter even higher. Sweet red fruit, licorice, leather andmoist pipe tobacco are some of the many layers that peel back from thebouquet. The balance, structure and persistence of the wine are allsuperb." Robert Parker

"The 2009 Barolo Rocche is wonderfully open and expressive. Barolos from the best sites in Castiglione Falletto often have an uncanny ability toshow very well young, yet also age gradually with a level of finesse that is hard to see when the wines are young. I will not be surprised if that is the case here. Sweet, silky tannins provide a backdrop for beautifully pure, articulate red fruit." VINOUS

Hochkarätiger, komplexer und moderner Barolo aus Serralunga: Elegantes, vielschichtiges Bouquet von Kirschen und Heidelbeeren, der körperreiche Geschmack ist von beachtlicher Dichte und Länge, tadellos integriert die Tannine. SUPERIORE.DE

"Funkelndes Rubin mit Granatschimmer. Feine und duftige Nase, eröffnet mit Noten nach Koriander und Chinarinde, dann viel Rosenblätter, Kirsche und Himbeere. Stoffig und satt am Gaumen, öffnet sich mit viel herzhaftem, präsentem Tannin, tiefgründig, präsente dunkle Beerenfrucht, langer Nachhall, ein Spätzünder!" Falstaff

"The 2011 Barolo Lazzarito is a landmark wine and one of the best expressions made region-wide in this challenging vintage. The bouquet is gorgeous thanks to the never-ending aromas of dark fruit, licorice and balsam herb that peel off the top. The Lazzarito vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba is characterized by thick soils and deep shifts between daytime and nighttime temperatures. These are important factors that lead to quality fruit despite the summer heat." Robert Parker

"The 2011 Barolo Lazzarito is fabulous in this vintage. Rich, ample and structured, the 2011 is both opulent and savory in style. Iron, plums, dark red cherries, smoke, licorice and tobacco meld together in a remarkably harmonious young Serralunga Barolo. This is the first year the Vietti Lazzarito includes a second recently acquired parcel, which may be one of the factors that influences quality, but at the same time, the Lazzarito has been the most improved Barolo in the range. All the elements come together in the 2011, a wine that has it all. This is a great showing from the Lazzarito. Best of all, readers won't have to wait forever to enjoy this beautiful, pedigreed Barolo." VINOUS

Barolo Brunate ist ein großzügiger, vollmundiger Wein mit femininen Aromen von süßen Beeren und Milchschokolade, sehr balsamisch und rund. Der Geschmack fließt mit viel Frucht, schöner Intensität und großer Offenheit. Fest strukturiert mit seidigen Tanninen, im Abgang elegant und frisch. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2011 Barolo Brunate is a wine of enormous pedigree, although it does not fully reach the aspiring heights of the 2010 and 2009 vintages immediately before it. Those wines set the bar so high, you need to settle for this wine that is a masterpiece in its own right. It offers deep, dark intensity with generous tones of ripe fruit, blackberry and red currant. Background notes of rosemary, cherry cola and licorice add vitality and focus. There is a subtle touch of softness in the mouth that is followed by firm tannins." Robert Parker

"A dark, exotic Barolo, the 2011 Brunate boasts tons of density and volume. Black cherry, plum, spice, licorice, new leather and menthol are some of the many nuances that flesh out in the glass. Ultimately, though, the 2011 is largely defined by the texture and amplitude of the year." VINOUS

"A beautiful purity of fruit to this young Barolo with ripe strawberries, citrus, flowers and spice. Full body, integrated tannins and a long finish. Need another two or three years to soften." James Suckling

"Smooth and harmonious, featuring cherry, licorice, tar and underbrush flavors. The tannins are present yet integrated. Fresh and long on the finish." Wine Spectator

Barolo Ravera repräsentiert den traditionelleren Stil der Weinbereitung bei Vietti. Graphit- und Eisenaromen, dazu fruchtig süße Noten von Kirsche und Himbeere, Leder und schwarzer Tee. Intensive Frucht mit komplexer Struktur und schön verwobenem Tannin. Leistungsstark und außergewöhnlich stilvoll. SUPERIORE.DE

"Leuchtendes, intensives Rubin-Granat. Fein angelegte Nase mit Noten nach Himbeere und dunklen Rosen, im Hintergrund nach Feuerstein und Trüffeln. Am Gaumen sehr präsent, zeigt viel Frucht, zugleich feinmaschiges, dichtes Tannin, das noch etwas Lagerung verträgt, hat sehr gutes Potenzial, langer Nachhall." Falstaff

"The 2011 Barolo Ravera opens to a pretty garnet color and dark ruby luminosity. The wine delivers tight concentration and a fine texture that adheres closely to the palate. Blackberry, cassis, spice, leather and tobacco emerge from the glass. Barolo Ravera also offers an earthy tone of white truffle or porcino mushroom. Soft oak density and thick fruit extract give the wine beautiful, full-bodied appeal. Give it ten more years of cellar aging to lose the baby fat." Robert Parker

"The 2011 Barolo Ravera is once again the most vibrant and nuanced of the Vietti Barolos. Freshly cut flowers, crushed rocks, mint and bright red stone fruits are all shaped by a very classic sense of mineral-inflected drive that is such a Ravera signature. The 2011 is a more than worthy follow up to the epic 2010. It's great to see this high-altitude district in Novello finally getting its due." VINOUS

"Cherry and plum flavors permeate this rich, powerful red. Accented by menthol and leather, this is balanced and fresh, with a lingering aftertaste of mineral and tobacco." Wine Spectator

"Engaging scents of wild berry, rose petal, aromatic herb and spice lead the nose. The full-bodied palate slowly reveals red cherry, anise, black pepper, clove and tobacco framed in assertive tannins and bright acidity. Give this time to fully open and develop." Wine Enthusiast

"Sattes Rubin mit Granatschimmer. Prä­sentiert sich in der Nase mit Noten nach Lakritze, Trüffel und Rosenholz, dann viel Zwetschke, im Hintergrund nach Lakritze. Am Gaumen markant, zeigt sich sehr stoffig, tiefgründig, gereifte Frucht und erdige Noten, öffnet sich mit straffem Tannin in vielen Schichten, im Finale fester Druck, salzig und lange." Falstaff

"This Barolo offers the trademark power and integrity that is so distinctive of wines made in Serralunga d'Alba. The 2012 Barolo Lazzarito delivers muscle, brawn, and an endearing sense of confidence and determination. The is a lovely interpretation that opens to dark fruit aromas that are sharply framed by spice, tobacco, tilled earth and cooling menthol. The overall effect is generous, well-structured and full-bodied. This wine is poised to age over the next twenty years." Robert Parker

"The 2012 Barolo Lazzarito impresses for its precision and class, two qualities that aren't easy to find in wines from this Serralunga site. Iron, smoke and white pepper lift from the glass in a vertical, structured Barolo endowed with real pedigree. A rush of pomegranate, red cherry jam, wild flowers and blood orange meld into the huge, bright finish. In 2012, the Lazzarito reconciles power and finesse like few vintages in the past. For the last few years, the Lazzarito has been knocking on the door of the big boys in this lineup, the Rocche and Ravera. Today, the Lazzarito makes a strong statement that it has arrived." VINOUS

"It's hard not to fall in love with the 2012 Barolo Brunate. This is an uneven vintage across the appellation, but Vietti has managed to harness the very best side of the grape during this growing season. The wine is densely concentrated and rich with black cherry, cassis and spice. It shows firm structure at the back with elegantly polished and fine-tuned tannins. The wine is almost approachable now (in another five years), but is more suitable for longer bottle aging." Robert Parker

"The aromas of licorice, violets and bramble berries impress. Full body, incredible length and texture. Lasts for minutes on the palate." James Suckling

Jung und frisch, sattes Rubingranat, komplexes, sehr aromatisches Bouquet, kräftiges Tannin,viel Frucht, feiner Schmelz, sauber strukturiert, harmonisch ausbalanciert, langes Finale. Lagern Sie ihn so gut Sie können und genießen Sie die Vorfreude! SUPERIORE.DE

"Samtiges, sattes Rubin. Sehr präsente und frische Nase, satt nach Zwetschken, Himbeeren, dazu auch Preiselbeeren, ansprechend. Sehr saftig im Ansatz, öffnet sich mit feinmaschigem, zugleich dichtem Tannin, schöner Schmelz, breitet sich lange aus, im Finale fester Druck." Falstaff

"The 2012 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is one of the bigger, richer wines in the lineup, which is a bit atypical. Readers should expect a huge, dramatic Rocche built on power, intensity and volume. At the same time, the Rocche is incredibly precise and layered. It is that very interplay of richness and finesse that makes the Rocche so alluring. Rose petal, mint and sweet red berries build to a crescendo of aromas, flavors and textures that takes over all the senses." VINOUS

"Wow. The rose petal aroma is gorgeous with ripe strawberry and cherry undertones. Full body, dense and powerful. Chewy and rich tannins. Lasts for minutes on the palate." James Suckling

Der 2014er Barolo Lazzarito beeindruckt durch seine Präzision und Klasse - zwei Eigenschaften, die in den Nebbiolo des Serralunga-Gebietes nicht allzu häufig zu finden sind. Eisen, Rauch und weißer Pfeffer strömen in die Nase, im Glas werden diese Eindrücke durch einen Anflug von Granatapfel, roter Kirschmarmelade, Wildblumen und Blutorange verlängert. Viettis Lazzarito steht immer auch für Kraft und Finesse und steht seinen "Kollegen" aus Ravera und Rocche schon länger in nichts mehr nach. SUPERIORE.DE

"Great freshness and vitality here in terms of 2014 Barolos! Lovely aromas of nuts and floras with just a hint of chocolate as well. Ripe and suave with an elegant tannin structure, making the long finish very satisfying." James Suckling

"Bright cherry and plum flavors are girded by chalky tannins in this red. Tar, tobacco, green tea and leafy elements add depth and the finish lingers." Wine Spectator

"This wine represents a tremendous effort. The 2014 Barolo Lazzarito is a powerhouse Nebbiolo. Luca Currado tells me that this is one of the best vintages he has ever made. I felt it important to record his comment here because it comes as a very refreshing affirmation given all the controversy and naysaying that surrounds the 2014 vintage. Lazzarito vines sit in a shallow amphitheater that tends to lock in the summer heat. Indeed, this vineyard site suffers most in the scorching hot years and performs best in the coolest years. The bouquet is opulent and bold with black fruit and distinct traces of sweet chocolate and espresso. The mouthfeel is succulent and rich in natural fruit fiber and sweet tannins." Robert Parker

"In many ways, the gorgeous 2014 Barolo Lazzarito is the most surprising wine in the range. Once a stylistic outlier with a considerable French oak influence, today it is much closer to the other Barolos in terms of feel. Deep, dark and intense, with all of the energy of the year very much on display, the Lazzarito is super-expressive and shows a more red-toned profile than is the norm. Kirsch, mint, rose petal and chalk all develop in the glass, while beams of tannin and salinity give the wine shape and persistence. The weight and depth of Serralunga come through on the midpalate and into the finish. Even so, this is in a decidedly laid-back style for Serralunga. In 2014, I especially like the wine's aromatic presence." VINOUS

"Lazzarito is a majestic cru in Serralunga, and this sees 30 months in barriques and large barrels, offering unmistakable personality in a ‘third way’ Barolo, a balancing act between ageability and early approachability. Aromatic, tight-knit fruit, forest floor, tobacco and liquorice. Tannins in a state of grace. Assured longevity." Decanter
