Community Tasting Note

subtlet Likes this wine:

Tuesday, November 6, 2012 - A Visit To Vietti (Vietti, Castiglione Falletto): This has a dark and spicy bouquet that stands out in contrast to the earlier Barbera wines. The main fruit component seems to be blood oranges wrapped in the spice of molasses, nutmeg, and a touch of smoke as well as a bit of toasty pie crust. It's very smooth across the palate. Crisp cherries lead the way and great acidity shows itself fully in the middle. The acidity persists as a touch of sweetness appears on the cherries. This tart sweetness evolves suddenly, giving a celebratory feeling to the mid palate. The smoke from the nose is realized toward the finish and lingers long.
