De historische Cru Brunate is gelegen in La Morra, ten Zuiden van Barolo, op een bodem van kalkachtig klei. De wijnstokken zijn 43 jaar oud en worden geleid in Gouyot. De druiven worden zachtjes gekneusd en de most vergist op cuve gedurende 23 dagen op 30-32°C met dagelijkse remontage in open lucht en pigeage. De malo-lactische gisting gebeurt op eik en voor de élevage wordt 32 maand voorzien op Franse barrique en Sloveense foudres. IN DE PERS 95 Monica Larner – The Wine Advocate Issue # 243 - robertparker.com (Juni 2019) The Barolo Brunate was not made in 2014 because of hail damage. Instead, all the fruit was diverted to the Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco instead. This newest release, the 2015 Barolo Brunate, definitely makes up for the lost ground. This is an explosive and absolutely exuberant expression of Nebbiolo from a vineyard site in La Morra near M. Marengo’s property. Vietti farms two parcels here, a higher side of the vineyard and a lower one (near Damilano and Ceretto). These lower parts of Brunate perform very nicely in the cooler vintages. Instead, this warm vintage expression puts a lot of its fruit depth and personality upfront in a confident and no-fuss manner. You absolutely know what you are getting here, even at the first sniff of the bouquet. The wine proceeds to open and blossom before your nose, offering dark fruit, rose, spice and a very linear mineral tone at the back. That linear flinty note is just terrific. Some 3,600 were produced. Drink 2022-2040. 93+ Antonio Galloni - vinous.com (Februari 2019) The 2015 Barolo Brunate is powerful and dense in the glass, with plenty of Brunate tannin that enshrouds the palate. Iron, smoke, grilled herb, menthol and spice notes add complexity to the dark, sepia-toned fruit. The 2015 is a baby. It will benefit from several years in bottle and then drink well to age 25-30, perhaps beyond. This is the first vintage made from Vietti's expanded holdings following the acquisition of a parcel that formerly went to Andrea Oberto. ViettiVietti is één van de allerbeste Cantina’s in Piemonte. Het is een familiale onderneming in een streek waar de mentaliteit goed aansluit bij de onze en die al generaties lang heerlijke wijnen maakt. Opgelet: ons enthousiasme voor deze exquise wijnen is besmettelijk! CurradoIf forced to inhabit a desert island that only served the wines of a single producer, I would want Luca Currado to be that supplier. He excels at everything he does from his castle perch at the heart of Castiglione Falletto. |
