The 2018 Vietti Barolo Brunate is a distinguished red wine produced by Vietti in the Barolo region of Piedmont, Italy. This wine is crafted from the Nebbiolo varietal and reflects the unique terroir of the Brunate sub-appellation in La Morra. With an alcohol content of 14%, this wine promises richness and complexity.

The Brunate vineyard, situated at an altitude of 300-400 meters above sea level with clay limestone soil, contributes to the wine's character. The vines, averaging 55 years of age, lend depth and maturity to the wine. According to The Wine Independent, the 2018 vintage has "a subtle nose of delicate smoke, tobacco, and cream, with oak spice and a warm nuttiness and violet note on standing." They also noted that, despite La Morra wines typically being rounder and softer, this wine's "tannins were quite present, fine but upright, with a tangy, savory firmness," and awarded it a score of 94.

Vinous also rated the wine 94, describing it as "a deep, layered wine that is going to need at least a few years to come together." The tasting notes include sage, menthol, licorice, dried flowers, and spice, with a recommendation to drink between 2028-2048.

James Suckling echoed these sentiments, also giving a 94 score and highlighting "sweet raspberries and strawberries on the nose, as well as some chalky minerals." He mentioned that the wine is full-bodied with a tight bead of fruit and mineral flavors, needing time to integrate, suggesting it would be best enjoyed from 2025 onward.

Wine Spectator provided an excellent review, scoring the wine at 95. They described it as "a refined, silky red marked by a mix of rose, strawberry, cherry, eucalyptus, and white pepper aromas and flavors," emphasizing its long, dusty, mineral-tinged finish. They recommended enjoying it between 2026-2042.

Additionally, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded the wine a 95, noting its "pretty softness and a delicate side with dried rose, lilac, and blue flower." The dual oak treatment process used by Vietti contributes to its "silky tannins and fine texture," and the wine finishes with distinctive notes of licorice and balsam herb.

In summary, the 2018 Vietti Barolo Brunate is a well-regarded wine with a complex profile and excellent aging potential. All reviewers highlighted its refined structure and depth, with particular acclaim for its aromatic complexity and firm, yet elegant tannins.
