Located in the heart of the Barolo region in Castiglione Falletto, Vietti has been crafting exceptional Nebbiolos since the late 1800s. They were pioneers in producing single-vineyard Barolos, highlighting the unique characteristics of specific terroirs.

We were fortunate enough to secure a small parcel of their monumental "Monvigliero" Cru—the crown jewel of the village of Verduno, just a 15-minute drive from Vietti's home base. James Suckling awarded the 2020 release an impressive 99 points, praising its transparency, finesse, and complexity. The SommSelect team has a deep affection for the Nebbiolos that hail from Verduno for their captivating aromatics, mid-palate elegance, and refined balance.

The 2020 "Monvigliero" is a centerpiece that will elevate any Piemonte collection. It boasts the pedigree to age gracefully for 15 to 20 years, yet remains remarkably accessible in its youthful stage. Antonio Galloni describes the 2020 Barolo vintage as one of grace, elegance, and seduction. Vietti's "Monvigliero" is undoubtedly the standout of their 2020 lineup—a must-have for serious collectors. Molte grazie!
