  March 9, 2024 - Vietti's Classico which year after year shows the high level that Vietti has. Superfine structure and razor-sharp acidity, the vintage once again shows how everything is in place. The floral notes together with licorice red cherry and blood orange are so elegant. Save and take the next bottle in 2 – 3 years.

  March 8, 2024 - Opening one bottle out of my case in it's youth for science. This needed 5 hours of air and food and with those, it was quiet nice. I won't touch the other bottles for ~5 years. Brad - heavypourwine.com

  March 8, 2024 - Translucent dark ruby - a wonderfully aromatic nose of rose petals suffused with fresh cherries and crushed red berries, with a twist of herbs and red licorice. A note of mint emerging with time in the glass. Juicy, velvety, fresh and open on the palate, with smooth drying Barolo tannins. Surprisingly open at this stage, but oh so good. With pork chops and black olive and porcini risotto.

  March 7, 2024 - What am I missing? I did not enjoy this. Medium bodied, but very light and thin in the mouth. Tart. Tannins are surprisingly light, but mouth drying. No fruit comes through. Tried it after opening, after airing out in the glass for a few hours, and 24+ hours later. No improvement. I have 2 more bottles, which I regret. The only positive thing is that I found this at Costco for USD$50. Maybe something magical will happen 5 years from now? Or am I just finding that this is so far from my style as I learn Barolo? This is just miles away from the 2019 Azienda Virna Di Borgogno Barolo Cannubi I had recently. I'd love to understand why I liked this bottle so much less, so that I can stop making this mistake in the future

  March 6, 2024 - We had our first bottle of 2019 recently. Straight from the bottle in a restaurant. Took about 30 minutes in the glass to open up, and then: wow. Everything you expect from Vietti.
