2020 Vietti Barbaresco Roncaglie Masseria

Vietti is absolutely a top estate. Mario Cordero’s robust Barolos and Barberas are world-class and very scarce! The quality is phenomenal and consistent across the entire range. Vietti is the only producer that owns vineyards in the eleven villages permitted to produce Barolo. They were the first to replant the forgotten local white grape “Arneis”. Moreover, they were pioneers in bottling “single vineyard” Baroli. This was the legendary 1961 Barolo Rocche. By being one of the first wine estates to export to the US, Vietti quickly became a major name in the Piedmont region, and now all single vineyard Barolos and Barberescos are released on allocation, meaning only a handful of bottles are available per country. The potential of their wines is unprecedented, and from the best years, this is 30 years+.

The Vietti 2020 Barbaresco Roncaglie Masseria is a refined and elegant wine with an intriguing aromatic profile. On the nose, fresh and floral notes of rose petals unfold, followed by juicy cherries and red berries such as redcurrant and strawberry. Additionally, the wine offers subtle hints of cake, creating a delicate sweetness on the nose.

On the palate, the wine reveals its layered complexity with a refined minerality reminiscent of wet stone and limestone. The fruity elements develop with a soft, gradual intensity, allowing every sip to offer a harmonious balance between freshness and depth.

A light touch of oak adds subtle spiciness without overpowering the wine's character. The oak aging is seamlessly integrated, allowing the wine to maintain an excellent balance between structure and elegance. In particular, the ratio between the tannins and the fresh acidity is perfectly balanced, resulting in a long and balanced finish.

With only 6,100 bottles produced, this Barbaresco is a rare and exceptional expression of the renowned Roncaglie Masseria terroir , known for its refined Nebbiolo wines. This is a wine that is already enjoyable but will also evolve beautifully with a few years of aging. Perfect to pair with dishes such as truffle risotto, ossobuco, or aged cheeses.
