| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.2 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by chatters on 1/29/2023: Coravin fun - Vietti (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Medium minus intensity aromas of plums tends to umeboshi, dry earth, a touch of meaty underpin, some herbaceous almost green stalk notes. Hmm. That green stalk note translate to the palate joining the plummy fruit, tannins are drying and a little cumbersome, touch of beef stock and yeast extract, lacks balance, showing a touch disjointed. Hmm. (764 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 10/18/2021: (Mostly) Barolo night (Frank's place in Matraville): From Coravin. Fruit tea, pretty, cherry, a little balsamic and wet clay; a sense of wetness, lightly spiced. Medium plus intensity acidity, fruit tea, tar, wetly juicy, tannins are talc textured and sit beneath the fruit tea and muted cherry flavours, a little alcohol warmth on the finish. Very nice. (869 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 9/8/2021: From Coravin. Aromas of earth, red cherry, spice, slight candy floss (surely not carbonic maceration/whole berry?) Medium plus intensity acidity, fruit tea, tightly textured tannins, quite simple at the moment. Nice. (978 views) | | | Tasted by Tim Heaton on 8/4/2020: HOLD. Nice enough food wine if serving today, but this struggles to hit the high notes. Give it plenty of rest. For its full potential, this is easily recommended, and likely to improve considerably from here.
https://www.ItalianWine.blog (1878 views) | | | Tasted by VinVet on 1/6/2019 & rated 88 points: Sour cherry nose and palate that improves with time in the glass. Acidity and tannins not quite there yet. Wait two more years before next bottle. (1606 views) | | | Tasted by aagrawal on 10/29/2017 & rated 92 points: Italy Vacation Part 2; 10/29/2017-11/5/2017 (Bologna, Parma, Modena and Roma): Clear light ruby; nose is aromatic, beautiful red fruits, strawberry, floral, very young; palate is light bodies, high youthful tannins, plenty of youthful red fruit, light and ethereal, medium-plus acidity; medium-long finish. Excellent even now and curious to see what will happen with air. 92
1-2 hours decanted. Even more aromatic, more complexity, now slight tar; palate is super-smooth and silky texture, good red fruit; medium to medium-long finish. A lovely wine.

There is excellent depth here with it also showing off a savory quality.
Taste: Medium bodied with high acidity and high tannins. The structure is extremely youthful to the near point of shutting the palate down. But, licorice, red cherries, raspberries, crushed rocks, violets, and herbs poke through the tannins.
Overall: This is a nascent Barbaresco. There is a lot to like about it already, but it really is in need of 8-10 years of aging before it can really strut its stuff. (1799 views) | | | Tasted by HowardNZ on 8/19/2016: Vietti tasting with Lorenzo (Castiglione Falletto): Elegant aromatics. A nose of bright, crystalline red fruit. Also lovely red berries on palate. Quite open and approachable. Silky and a little soft with sweet, refined tannins. A good quality, forward Barbaresco. (2559 views) | | | Tasted by kenv on 7/5/2016 & rated 93 points: Tasting at the Vietti Winery with Elena and Luca (Castiglione Falletto): Gorgeous strawberry nose. Surprisingly tannic. Lots of potential and hard to judge at this stage, but there is a wow factor in there. Needs probably 10 years to show itself. 92-94, maybe more. (1898 views) |

U.S. Importer (Addt'l Info)NebbioloNebbiolo is a red grape indigenous to the Piedmont region of Italy in the Northwest. The grape can also be found in other parts of the world, though they are not as respected.
Nebbiolo is often considered the "king of red wines," as it is the grape of the famed wines of Barolo DOCG, Barbaresco DOCG, and Roero DOCG. It is known for high tannins and acidity, but with a distinct finesse. When grown on clay, Nebbiolo can be very powerful, tannic, and require long aging periods to reach its full potential. When grown on sand, the grape exhibits a more approachable body with more elegant fruit and less tannins, but still has high aging potential.
"Nebbiolo" is named for the Italian word, "nebbia", which means "fog", in Italian and rightfully so since there is generally a lot of fog in the foothills of Piedmont during harvest.
Nebbiolo is a late-ripening variety that does best in a continental climate that boasts moderate summers and long autumns. In Piedmont, Nebbiolo is normally harvested in October.
