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.
This is a 1.5-liter magnum. Even tastier and with a longer drinking window .
FUN FACT: The wine is stored in our climate-controlled Wine Warehouse, and if you come to pick it up, you will also receive a nice discount. We are located almost next to the main road with ample parking. Click here for the address.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De Vietti 2020 Barbaresco Roncaglie Masseria toont een verfijnd aromatisch profiel van rozenblaadjes, sappige kersen en rode bessen met een subtiele cakezoetheid, een frisse natte-steen mineraliteit, verfijnde tannines en geïntegreerd eiken waardoor de wijn elegant en lang van smaak blijft. Dankzij die combinatie van frisse zuren, rijp fruit en fijne structuur past hij uitstekend bij rundvlees, stoofschotels, pasta en pizza en bij terras- of romantische diners; denk aan langzaam gestoofde ossobuco of een rijk tomatenragù bij pasta dat de zuren en tannines mooi opvangt, een houtgeroosterde entrecote of ribeye waarvan de grillroosters de fruitigheid benadrukken, en truffelrisotto of gerijpte kazen die de subtiele kruidigheid en mineraliteit van de wijn versterken. |

The Vietti 2020 Barolo Ravera offers dark fruit, cherry and blackcurrant enhanced by soft spice. You also get a sun-kissed note of eggplant, tomato leaf and ferrous earth. Ravera displays strong lines with good acidity and firm tannic backbone. It closes dry and ages in large oak botte only. This is one of the most eyeballed MGAs sites. Ravera, with its open mountain skyline and cool temperatures, is seen as one of the best sites in the appellation, especially as the climate changes. This vintage produced exactly 10,026 bottles.
Vietti has access to Nebbiolo from 10 MGA sites to make the various wines in its ample portfolio. We also have a new wine to celebrate—the 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà—that knocks it out of the ballpark with its inaugural release.

Very perfumed and pretty with sliced strawberries and citrus blossom. Plenty of forest berries, too. Medium to full body. Creamy tannins and a fresh finish. Fine texture and gorgeous. Vegan. Hard not to drink but will be even better in 2027.

From: 2020 Barolo: Selective Excellence (Jan 2024)
The 2020 Barbaresco, from vines in Roncaglie, sizzles with tension. Bright, red-toned fruit, orange peel, mint, white pepper and crushed rocks are all beautifully delineated. In many vintages, the Roncaglie is quite showy. That is hardly the case in 2020, a vintage in which the wine is classically austere and in need of time. Super-classic.
- By Antonio Galloni on November 2023
I tasted a wide range of wines on my most recent visit to Vietti. Starting with the 2020 Barolos, I tasted every wine from a just-opened bottle and a bottle that had been double-decanted two hours prior to my arrival. Aeration can be a tricky thing with young, just-bottled wines. Sometimes, air can help young wines open but also shut them down hard. In 2020, the double-decanted bottles showed better. Overall, there is a bit more variation from wine to wine than I am used to seeing, while some of the Barolos are on the lighter side.
In 2020, virtually all the fruit for the single-vineyard Barolos was picked in late September, before the early October rains. Harvest resumed on October 5 with the second portion of Lazzarito and various parcels used in the Barolo Castiglione. The 2020s spent about 24 days on the skins, with submerged cap maceration for most lots. Time in cask was 24-26 months.
Readers will note several new wines in the range. Vietti’s 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is stellar. The same is true, incidentally, of the 2020 Barbaresco Roncaglie. I have long admired the Barbarescos here. That is once again the case this year. The 2016 Barolo Riserva is the next incarnation of the 2015 Barolo Riserva that was released last year, but it was made from different vineyards and vinified with a high percentage of whole clusters. I would be remiss if I did not spend some time on the entry-level offerings. The 2021 Barberas are fabulous. These are wines I bought often as a young consumer and continue to enjoy as often as possible. Ripeness and oak impact have been dialed back, which really allows the purity of the fruit to come through.

Vietti is definitely a top domain. Mario Cordero's robust Barolos and Barberas are world class and very scarce! In addition, he brings an extremely good Nebbiolo to the market with the Nebbiolo Langhe Perbacco. This is sufficiently available and very affordable. This also applies to the crisp, fresh, soft-sweet Moscato d'Asti. And then of course there is the story behind the labels... Since 1974, a select number of Vietti wines (since 1988 only the Barolo Riserva Villero) are labeled with a specially designed, original work of art. The print run of the artwork is equal to the number of bottles of the wine in question that are made in this vintage. The first hundred labels are also signed by the artist himself, so real collector's items!
The history of the Vietti family as a wine company goes back to the 19th century. In the early years, grapes were grown, but they were sold to the Coöperatie and other winegrowers. Only at the beginning of the 20th century did the family decide to start making their own wine. In recent years, no one in Piedmont has set the bar higher than Vietti. All their wines are of exceptionally high quality. Winemaker Luca Currado built on the success of his parents Alfredo and Lucia. The quality is phenomenal and consistent across the entire range. Vietti is the only producer who owns vineyards in the eleven villages allowed to produce Barolo. They were the first to replant the forgotten local white grape “Arneis”. In addition, they were pioneers in bottling "single vineyard" Baroli. This was the legendary 1961 Barolo Rocche one of the better wine companies in Piemonte. By being one of the first wine estates to export to the US, Vietti quickly became a big name in the Piemonte region. The Vietti wines come from grapes from the Castiglione Falletto vineyards, the heart of the Barolo zone. The qualities of sandy calcareous soil in this area give a unique complexity and beautiful tannins to the elegant wines. The average age of the vines is between 30 and 70 years.
