Perhaps the most emblematic of the Barolo region, the Vietti label is renowned worldwide for incredible quantity and delicious, approachable and age-worthy wines. An estate with winemaking roots more than 150 years ago, Vietti's holdings are enviable with nearly every top cru represented over their 75 hectares of vineyards.

Vietti

Carlo Vietti began the Vietti family winemaking journey in 1873, though it was in the mid-20th century with Alfredo Currado's entrance to the family through marriage that the winery began to truly set themselves apart with single-cru bottlings and decorative, artistic labels.

Though difficult to believe, Barolo only became a DOC in 1960; in 1961, Vietti released the Rocche di Castiglione cru for the first time, one of the very first single-cru labels ever released from Barolo. Today under new direction, the Vietti label is widely-known as one of impeccable quality from their approachable Barbera and Langhe labels to their incredibly age-worthy Barolos, be it the blend of crus in Castiglione or the famed Barolo Villero Riserva, routinely one of Piedmont's best wines each vintage.

Vineyard work is done entirely sustainably, with the estate recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Winemaking is done in a largely traditional method, utilizing submerged-cap macerations for all Nebbiolo wines, and extended aging in large oak barrels.

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.

Picked on October 9 and 10, the 2020 Barolo Ravera has plenty of Ravera classicism and tension, but also feels a bit light in the mid-palate. Ravera is never a huge wine in body, but the depth is often there, even if expressed in an understated and more linear manner. The 2020 lacks that depth. Red-toned fruit, blood orange, mint, spice and white pepper lend brilliance throughout.
