Tasting Notes

Vietti Brunate La Morra Barolo 2006 captures the essence of one of Italy's most esteemed wine regions, offering an exceptional expression of Nebbiolo from the renowned La Morra vineyards. This vintage is particularly notable for its accessibility, showcasing a softened profile that invites earlier enjoyment without sacrificing the classic depth and structure that define Barolo wines.

The 2006 release presents a harmonious balance of rich tannins and vibrant acidity, underscoring the remarkable terroir of La Morra in Piedmont. Known for its limestone-rich soils and optimal microclimate, the region lends distinct elegance and complexity to the Nebbiolo grapes, resulting in a wine that expresses both power and finesse.

Critically acclaimed with over 95 points from Antonio Galloni, this Barolo exemplifies premium craftsmanship and meticulous selection. Sourced from a highly regarded private cellar, the wine offers collectors and connoisseurs a rare opportunity to experience a matured vintage that retains its youthful vibrancy and cellaring potential.

On the palate, expect layers of red cherry, rose petal, and subtle hints of earth and spice, framed by silky tannins and a persistent finish. The well-rounded structure makes it versatile for pairing with rich Italian cuisine, aged cheeses, and hearty meat dishes.

Vietti Brunate La Morra Barolo 2006 is an elegant representation of Barolo’s prestigious legacy, combining traditional winemaking with the unique character of a vintage celebrated for its refinement and approachability. This bottle is a testament to the enduring allure of one of Italy’s most coveted wines.

Critic Scores

The 2006 Barolo Brunate is a fat, juicy wine that comes across as more immediate than some of the other Barolos in this line-up. Smoke, tar and licorice meld into a core of gloriously ripe fruit. There is incredible density and richness to the Brunate, qualities that carry through to the impeccably round, harmonious finish. The Brunate sees a fermentation/maceration lasting roughly 21 days, which is the shortest among the estate's single-vineyard Barolos, but not entirely surprising for a wine made from this site, which lies on the La Morra/Barolo border. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2031.


I sampled a mind-boggling array of outstanding – and often profound – wines in my marathon tasting session with proprietor and winemaker Luca Currado. The 2006 Barolos are nothing short of spectacular and the 2007s may be even better! Readers can check out notes on those wines in my recent feature on the estate posted on www.erobertparker.com. I should note that Vietti plans to release a 2006 Barolo Riserva Villero, but that wine is years from seeing the light of day. The Barolos are vinified in stainless steel, then racked into French oak for the malolactic fermentation, where the wines remain for a few months. The majority of aging takes place in large, neutral casks. Over the last few(more...)
