Vietti's 2015 Nebbiolo from Piedmont opens with the deep garnet of aged Barolo, its richly rounded palate showing velvety texture and whispers of fig and plum.

James SucklingThis is a very youthful Barolo that has attractive, fragrant perfume with freshly picked roasting herbs and a strong, central thread of ripe cherries and red plums.

Try from 2025.
