This Riserva is born from a “selection within a selection,” the result of the meticulous work of the Vietti winery, one of the most renowned in Barolo production. It is a complex and refined wine, endowed with extraordinary depth and capable of evolving magnificently over time. Elegance, structure, and longevity are the distinguishing features of this oenological masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2017 vintage was characterized by particularly hot and dry weather conditions, which led to a natural reduction in production, but to a high aromatic concentration in the grapes. The harvest, slightly early, ensured healthy, ripe bunches rich in sweet and well-integrated tannins. The result is a Barolo that combines power and harmony, with a fine balance between fruity components and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach cru selected for this wine was vinified separately. \u003cstrong\u003eFermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e took place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, followed by a long \u003cstrong\u003emaceration\u003c\/strong\u003e on the skins, useful for extracting color, aromas, and tannins. After fermentation, the wine rested for about 30 months in \u003cstrong\u003elarge oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, where it slowly developed its complexity. The delicate \u003cstrong\u003efinal blending\u003c\/strong\u003e of the individual crus occurs only after careful evaluation, to ensure balance and consistency in the Vietti style. The result is a unique wine, produced in a limited edition and ready to face decades of evolution in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo 'Riserva' DOCG 2017 - Vietti\u003c\/strong\u003e is a wine of great personality, which at the first sip reveals the essence of Nebbiolo and the Langa hills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt presents an \u003cstrong\u003eintense garnet red\u003c\/strong\u003e color with orange reflections, a sign of maturity and the typicality of the grape variety.
