Description
Still red Barbaresco DOCG, 14.5% ABV, 100% Nebbiolo, produced by Vietti. 0.75 l bottle, 2021 vintage. A Barbaresco that embodies the passion and dedication of the Vietti winery, founded in 1873. The grapes come from the "Roncaglie" MGA, one of the most renowned areas of Barbaresco. Alcoholic fermentation lasts approximately three weeks in stainless steel tanks in contact with the skins with regular pumping over. This time includes pre- and post-fermentation cold maceration using the traditional submerged cap method. Malolactic fermentation takes place in wood. Aged for approximately 30 months in large barrels. The nose is rich, powerful, and concentrated with hints of red fruit. Ruby red in color, with light garnet hues. The tannins are ripe, soft, silky, and well-integrated. The almond note on the finish is distinctive. Overall, very balanced and refined.
