Vietti 2021 Barolo - A Classic Barolo Vintage

 
A mild, wet winter set things up beautifully, replenishing water reserves for what became a dry growing season. The summer was warm rather than hot, and as a result the harvest of all the varieties was of perfectly ripe and healthy berries. Vietti’s nebbiolo vintage began late September and lasted well into October, aided by lower temperatures and a marked diurnal shift from mid-September. 2021 was a year of remarkable, aided no doubt from a quality perspective than the below average yields. 
 
With this offer there is another new wine to the range, this time not from nebbiolo but 2022 Timorasso Derthona Boscogrosso, from a 2 hectare single vineyard located at 310 metres, on the top of the hill that acts as a watershed between the municipalities of Monleale and Volpeglino, with west to south-west exposure.
