At the winery the grapes were destemmed and gently crushed before being transferred into stainless steel tanks for fermentation. The wine was transferred to oak where malolactic conversion took place. The wine was matured for 32 months in large Slavonian and French oak casks and was bottled without filtration. The Vietti Barolo Brunate is a supple and elegant Barolo with expressive fruit aromas, spicy overtones and distinctive violet notes typical of the Brunate vineyard, through to a liquorice sensation on the long finish.[#intro]A supple \u0026amp; elegant Barolo with soft \u0026amp; velvety tannins typical of the La Morra area...[\/intro]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vietti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55060711473533,"sku":"A19VIETTIBRUNATE","price":210.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/BaroloBrunateBt.jpg?v=1735835423"},{"product_id":"sandrone-le-vigne-barolo","title":"Sandrone Le Vigne Barolo 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne is a masterpiece of balance and complexity, reaffirming Luciano Sandrone's status among the greatest names in Piedmont. Sourced from some of the region's finest vineyards, Le Vigne is a flagship wine renowned for its harmonious structure, refined tannins, and exceptional longevity. This is an essential acquisition for any serious collector or Barolo enthusiast. Unlike single-vineyard Barolo, Le Vigne (The Vines) is a traditional cru blend, marrying the distinct terroirs of multiple elite villages: Barolo (Vignane), Castiglione Falletto (Villero), Novello (Merli), and Serralunga d'Alba (Baudana). This classic approach yields a wine of incredible complexity, capturing the full spectrum of the Barolo appellation in a single bottle. A complex and intense bouquet revealing classic notes of crushed roses, violet, liquorice, and tar, underpinned by ripe black cherry and sweet baking spice. The palate is powerful and full-bodied, yet exquisitely elegant. It features fine-grained, silky tannins - a hallmark of Sandrone's modern style - that frame dark fruit and a distinctive mineral tension. The finish is sustained and lifted by Nebbiolo's bracing acidity. Built for the long haul, ready to evolve over the next 20 to 30 years.

Vajra Barolo 'Albe' 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you are looking to discover why Barolo is often called the 'King of Wines', the G.D. Vajra family is the perfect place to start. Their ‘Albe’ release - which translates to 'dawns' - tells a beautiful story. Because their high-altitude vineyards face in slightly different directions across the hillsides, the vines actually catch the sunrise at three distinct times each morning. The 2021 vintage is widely celebrated as a phenomenal year for the Nebbiolo grape. The wine is crafted with a deep respect for tradition; the fruit is handled gently, and the wine rests patiently for up to two years in large oak casks. This traditional approach allows the Barolo to develop incredible depth and smoothness, without hiding the pure, vibrant fruit flavours behind heavy woody notes. In the glass, it pours a bright, luminous ruby-red. The aromas are immediately inviting, offering a beautiful mix of fresh rose petals, ripe red cherry, and a hint of sweet spice. On the palate, it feels energetic and refined. Bright red fruit and a subtle whisper of tobacco are framed by smooth, velvet-like tannins, leading to a mouth-watering and remarkably long finish. This is a brilliantly versatile Barolo. It is delicious to drink right now - especially if you open it an hour before serving alongside a rich beef ragù, roast meats, or a hearty stew - yet it also possesses the pedigree to age beautifully in the cellar over the coming decade. A fantastic introduction for anyone looking to explore serious Italian red wine.
