Vietti is a major Piedmontese winery, with a range of Barolos, Barberas, Dolcettos and a Barbaresco – the Masseria.
A fairly typical Nebbiolo bouquet – berry spice, tar and violets. A bit of tea and tobacco as well. Weighty on the palate – tannic and alcoholic. “Too tannic,” says N1. I’m surprised – I would have expected this to be smoothing out by now. But 1996 was another pretty grand vintage in Piedmont , and this clearly has some distance to go yet. Will be superb.
