Vietti Barolo Rocche(1999)

- Again after 4 hours this offers a wonderful contrast to the warmer years with it's spicy, musky tones of wild orchard fruits, crisp mint and pine tones and subtle, nuanced notes of wood spice and toast. Fresh and crisp in the mouth with black cherry fruit that has great verve and minerality. Has a deceptive gentleness that makes it deceptively easy to drink but this should develop splendidly.

- The "Rocche" vineyard is renown for its ability to age marvelously. In it's youth, you'll enjoy the structure and the underlying chalk minerals from limestone soils. This is a full-bodied red wine made from the famed Nebbiolo grape. Full of violets, mixed dark berries and a touch of espresso foam. The Vietti winery makes a style that's accessible in its youth but can withstand the test of time in the cellar.
