Tasting Notes

Vietti Brunate La Morra Barolo 2011 represents a distinguished expression of Barolo, celebrated for its balance between approachability and prestige. This vintage offers a unique opportunity to savor one of the elite wines from Vietti’s renowned Brunate vineyard without the extended wait typically required for Barolos to reach their peak. Harvested from a premium private cellar, the 2011 edition stands out as a more accessible entry point into this exclusive lineup, delivering refined complexity and elegance.

Known for its rich Nebbiolo grapes, the Brunate vineyard is situated in La Morra, a key area within the Barolo appellation in Piedmont, Italy. The 2011 vintage, marked by favorable growing conditions, yielded grapes with concentrated flavors and balanced acidity, resulting in a harmonious wine with both power and finesse. This particular Barolo showcases classic notes of cherry, rose petal, and subtle spice, with a smooth tannic structure that invites enjoyment now while promising further development with short-term aging.

Key aspects include:

  • Prestige Barolo that can be enjoyed without long cellar aging
  • A more approachable year within Vietti’s elite Brunate series
  • Exclusive sourcing from a premium private cellar

This 2011 Brunate La Morra Barolo aligns with Vietti’s commitment to crafting wines that combine tradition with innovation, offering bright aromatics and a polished finish. Ideal for those who desire a high-caliber Barolo showcasing the distinct terroir of La Morra, this wine is a testament to Vietti’s expertise and the exceptional quality achievable in the 2011 vintage.

Critic Scores

A beautiful purity of fruit to this young Barolo with ripe strawberries, citrus, flowers and spice. Full body, integrated tannins and a long finish. Need another two or three years to soften.

About this Wine

Nebbiolo

The noble red grape of Piedmont, Italy, behind Barolo and Barbaresco, known for its high tannin, acidity, and ageing potential.

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.
