🏰【A powerful and brooding 2017 Barolo Brunate, a cellar-worthy masterpiece from Vietti's esteemed vineyard】. This intense ruby-red Barolo from a ripe and fleshy vintage offers an explosive nose of plum, citron, grapefruit, and spicy overtones, gradually revealing violet aromas. The palate is full and intense with soft, round, velvety tannins, showcasing brooding notes of licorice, dried currant, cedar, and mineral-rich earth, demanding patience for its full expression. 🍴 This formidable Barolo is an excellent partner for lamb dishes. 🥂 This is a wine for serious collectors, requiring significant cellaring (through 2032–2040). Best reserved for a grand celebration in the distant future, allowing its full potential to unfold.
