Tasting Notes

Vietti Brunate La Morra Barolo 2013 is an exceptional expression of Piedmont’s prestigious Barolo region, renowned for producing some of Italy’s most revered Nebbiolo wines. The 2013 vintage is increasingly recognized as a sleeper year, offering remarkable balance and complexity that make this Brunate a smart, forward-looking acquisition for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

This wine boasts a stunning 96-point rating from Antonio Galloni, underscoring its refined structure and captivating depth. Sourced from a premium private cellar, the Vietti Brunate La Morra showcases elegant aromas of red cherry, rose petal, and subtle hints of tar and earth, layered with nuanced spice and mineral undertones. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious blend of vibrant acidity, silky tannins, and a long, persistent finish that reflects the unique terroir of the Brunate cru.

Vietti’s dedication to meticulous vineyard management and traditional winemaking techniques results in a Barolo that is both approachable in its youth and capable of graceful aging. This wine captures the essence of La Morra’s hillside vineyards, renowned for limestone-rich soils that impart finesse and aromatic complexity to Nebbiolo grapes.

Perfectly suited for pairing with rich Italian cuisine such as truffle dishes, braised meats, and aged cheeses, the 2013 Vietti Brunate La Morra Barolo stands out as a luxurious, collectible wine that exemplifies the sophistication and heritage of Barolo winemaking.

Critic Scores

Vietti's 2013 Barolo Brunate is one of the most reticent, powerful and explosive wines in the range. Huge beams of tannin give the wine its energy and overall shape. Readers will have to be especially patient with the 2013, as it is built for the long haul. As...in the very long haul. The gravitas and overall muscularity of Brunate is quite evident, but the wine remains raw, powerful and in need of significant bottle age. Today, the tannins are searing, which adds to the wine's brooding personality. This is the first vintage that includes old-vine fruit that used to go to Oberto and Marengo from a parcel Vietti acquired a few years ago.

Very focused young Barolo with lots of aromas of crushed strawberries and raspberries. Hints of lilacs, too. Full to medium body, very fine tannins and a persistent and beautiful finish. Drink in 2019.

About this Wine

Piedmont

Piedmont (Piemonte in Italian) is probably the finest wine region in all of Italy, and has laid claim to this since Roman times. It has a continental climate influenced by the surrounding Alps and Ligurian Apennines, and is located in the north-west of Italy, bordering both France and Switzerland.

Piedmont has only 1% of the total vineyards of Bordeaux and 15% that of Burgundy. So while a top Chateaux may produce upwards of 35,000 cases a year, leading Barolo producers will often make only 800 cases. More than half of its vineyards are registered with DOC designations and many are in the Apennine or Alpine foothills, from 300-600m above sea level. Most of the wines are produced by smaller family estates rather than larger holdings.

Piedmont has 46 different DOC and four DOCG regions, and produces the largest number of well known, world-recognized, prize-winning wines. The most famous would have to be Barolo or Barbaresco, whose power comes from the Nebbiolo grape variety. The most widely planted red variety is Barbera although Dolcetto, Muscat, Shiraz and Bonarda are also produced.

The white variety most well known is Moscato, which is often made into frizzante (bubbly) wines known as Asti. Cortese is made into the popular Gavi wines, and smaller amounts of Chardonnay and high quality Sparkling are also produced in the far north of Piedmont.
