From the famed Brunate cru in La Morra, Vietti's Barolo is explosive and powerful, with plum and citrusy cedar, the violet typical of the site and soft, velvety La Morra tannin.

What it pairs with

  • Brasato al Barolo
    Rich braised beef matches the wine's powerful fruit and velvety tannin.
  • Porcini risotto
    Mushroom earth meets the wine's liquorice-root depth.
  • Aged Castelmagno
    Salty cheese sharpens the violet and plum lift.
