| Story | This first edition of Vietti's Barolo 'Riserva' is the result of a 'selection within a selection': while working on the composition of the Barolo 'Castiglione' blend, we were struck by some wines from individual Cru vineyards. We were surprised by the combination of intensity combined with elegance and good tannic structure, which represents excellent ageing potential. Hence the decision to blend and bottle this wine separately, to enhance the typical characteristics of each individual MGA. |
