This 2018 Barolo Brunate from Vietti, made from 100% Nebbiolo, is expected to present a complex and evolving aromatic profile. On the nose, look for classic Nebbiolo notes of red cherry, raspberry, and dried rose petals, intertwined with more savory hints of licorice, tar, and forest floor. The Brunate cru often imparts a distinctive minerality and a refined structure. On the palate, it will be full-bodied with high acidity and firm, yet elegant, tannins. Flavors will mirror the nose, with additional layers of spice, tobacco, and a long, persistent finish that promises further development with age.
