"A harvest to be remembered: 2020"

Located in the heart of the Langhe hills, at the top of the village of Castiglione Falletto, the Vietti wine cellar was founded in the late 1800s by Carlo Vietti.

Although they had been making wine for 4 generations, the turning point came in the 1960s when Luciana Vietti married winemaker and art connoisseur Alfredo Currado, whose intuitions (like the production of one of the first Barolo crus, Rocche di Castiglione, in 1961) made him both symbol and architect of some of the most significant revolutions of the time.

His legacy was taken up by Luca Currado Vietti (Luciana and Alfredo’s son) and his wife Elena, who have contributed to the success of the Vietti brand – universally recognized today as being one of the very finest Italian wine labels – by continuing along the path of the pursuit of quality, considered experimentation and working for expansion and consolidation internationally.

As for the 2020 vintage, at the end of harvest Elena and Luca Currado Vietti concluded, “Overall we can say that, although it is still too early to make final statements, it can be assumed that 2020 may become a great new vintage. Despite everything, the nature and the vine have once again been surprising sources of inspiration, hope and strength. 

This harvest represents for us a sign of optimism that we want to pass on to all our fans. We're pleased, a little tired, but happy! ”

Impressive depth of color and brightness from this Cerequio that comes with so much fruit. So fragrant and complex. Fresh brambly raspberries, red cherries, grapefruit and mineral. Pure, ripe and racy, with fully resolved tannins and a tense, compact finish. Expressive and impressive! Vegan. Already approachable for the depth of fruit, but better from 2027 for additional complexity. -James Suckling

2020 Vietti Barolo Lazzarito

$219.89 (750ml) In Stock – Buy Now

96+ WA / 96 JS / 93 VM

Lazzarito stands out as one of the strongest wines in this portfolio of new releases from Vietti. With fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, the 2020 Barolo Lazzarito comes in at a very high threshold in terms of complexity, offering dark cherry, crème de cassis, violet macaron, dried herb and lavender. The wine's perfumes remind me of the south of France in summer. It shows elegant tannins, streamlined intensity and good acidity.-Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate

2020 Vietti Barolo Monvigliero

$219.89 (750ml) In Stock – Buy Now

99 JS / 95 WA / 95 DE

One of the palest and most perfumed Barolos from Vietti with a transparent, ruby-orange hue. This is a super nuanced, elegant, expressive and ethereal Monvigliero that grows on me, with enchanting notes of grilled grapefruit, thyme, frozen raspberries and mineral. A subtle splash of white pepper and mezcal-like smokiness. Really refined and transparent, with some citrus and mineral tensions that are closely knit with the fine, crumbled tannins. So much finesse and detail here, and its complexity will continue to unwind. Really composed, soulful and mind-blowing! An otherworldly, idiosyncratic Barolo that actually reminded me of the finest Gredo garnacha. A big wow that deserves attention. Vegan. Best with a Burgundy glass. Can drink now or from 2027. -James Suckling

2020 Vietti Barolo Ravera

$219.89 (750ml) In Stock – Buy Now

96 JS / 95 WA / 94 VM

Perfumed, composed and agile with notes of cherries, wild strawberries, white pepper, frozen raspberries, dried flowers and some stones. Full-bodied with fine, chalky tannins and crisp acidity. Bright and vertical with controlled power throughout. Textural and subtle. Great tension and energy on the mid-palate and onto the long, focused finish. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Try after 2030. -James Suckling

2020 Vietti Barbaresco Roncaglie Masseria

$129.89 (750ml) In Stock – Buy Now

96 JS / 94+ VM / 94 WA / 16.5 JR

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. -James Suckling
