12 Bottles of Barolo 'Ravera' Vietti 2012 Piemonte, Italy Creating their first wines in 1919, the Vietti estate has been at the forefront of pioneering single-vineyard Barolo & Barbaresco. The Currado family owns vineyards in each of the 11 Barolo villages and also helped to save the white grape variety Arneis from extinction with help from the late Bruno Giacosa. Writing for Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, Italian wine expert Antonio Galloni said: “I think it is fair to say readers will be stunned by the quality of the wines that are emerging from this family-run property in Castiglione Falletto.” So prepare yourself to be stunned. Commanding universal praise, Vietti has tamed the enormous tannins of the 'Ravera' vineyard in Novello. The oldest part of this vineyard was planted in 1935, resulting in rich concentration and show-stopping intensity. Aged for 32 months in Slovenian oak casks, this fabulous Barolo has spice, mint, plum, cranberry, rose petal, pomegranate, asphalt on a hot day in abundance, and a foresty quality. An exceptionally polished Barolo built on pure, sculpted elegance. Over the last few years Vietti has done a tremendous job in taming the intense 'Ravera' tannins while preserving all of the focus that makes the wines from this site so alluring. Sourced direct from winemaker. In Original Wooden Cases. Lot is subject to VAT on the hammer price.
