I’ve had about four bottles of this bottle over the course of the past two years or so and I always come to the conclusion that this bottle is fantastic to satisfy your Barolo/Barbaresco-itch. It remains affordable, well-balanced and generally much more approachable than its more tannic and age-worthy fellows of Barolo and Barbaresco (it is meant to be, of course). The wine has hints of cherries and raspberries, very subtle hints of mint and round, but prominent tannins. It went well together with a savoury Risotto alla Milanese – what an enjoyable dinner.

Not a huge fan of Vietti but that risotto looks delicious!
Can I just say how much I love Vietti’s bottle design? I love their labels
I always buy it and have a few floating about so when I feel like a barolo I don’t get tempted to crack open one of the ones I’m trying to age.
The absolute best non barolo/barbaresco nebbiolo you can get! Love it
Really wanted to like this wine, but I didn’t find it balanced – too dry and astringent for me. All the reviews are glowing so I just not seem to like the style yet, but hopefully will grow to appreciate
