Spring rains ensured a good water reserve in the soil, while the harvest, which took place between late September and early October, yielded ripe and homogeneous bunches. The result is a wine of excellent aromatic concentration and consistent freshness, perfectly representative of the Vietti style.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVinification and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe vinification involves traditional fermentation in steel with a \u003cstrong\u003emaceration\u003c\/strong\u003e of about 3-4 weeks, during which the skins release color, aromas, and tannins. Subsequently, the wine ages for about 24 months in large oak barrels, a process that softens the tannins without overpowering the fruity and spicy notes. The result is a balanced Barbaresco, where the strength of Nebbiolo meets the finesse that distinguishes Vietti's production philosophy.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIn the glass, it presents a \u003cstrong\u003eluminous garnet red color\u003c\/strong\u003e, with ruby reflections that will eventually turn towards more orange tones, a sign of its natural evolution.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe aromatic profile is complex and enveloping: aromas of ripe cherry, blackcurrant, and dried violets emerge, accompanied by hints of sweet spices, tobacco, and light balsamic notes.
