Why We're Buying
Consistent critical praise. 100 nebbiolo grapes. Rich winemaking tradition. They're all present in Vietti Barbaresco Masseria. The wine producer has gradually increased production and gained greater control of its vineyards, which bodes well for future vintages.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Call it the 2014 paradox: this controversial vintage has in fact produced some stellar wines, especially in the Barbaresco appellation. The 2014 Barbaresco Masseria is a softly textured wine with a yielding and velvety personality. It reveals a dark color and hearty disposition. It is generous and soft, requiring little cellar aging before it reaches its drinking prime. The 2014 vintage was hotter and saw less rain in Barbaresco compared to Barolo. Sandy soils in the Barbaresco appellation help to shape delicate and nuanced wines with bright floral and dark fruit aromas. Sandy soils dry out faster in the hot years because they drain any existing moisture too well. That's why a cooler and wetter vintage like 2014 is particularly well suited to Nebbiolo in Barbaresco.
