| | | | 3-bottle-case 2018 Vietti Barolo Brunate $630 3packORIGINAL WOOD CASE
94 Points Antonio Galloni “The 2018 Barolo Brunate is a deep, layered wine that is going to need at least a few years to come together. Today, the Brunate is quite primary and backward, but all the ingredients are there. Sage, menthol, licorice, dried flowers and spice build with a bit of coaxing.”

| | 3-bottle-case 2018 Vietti Barolo Lazzarito $630 3pack ORIGINAL WOOD CASE
94 Points Antonio Galloni “The 2018 Barolo Lazzarito is tense, vibrant and very much closed in on itself. Searing tannins and Serralunga structure dominate today. Crushed rocks, gravel, red fruit, rose petal, lavender and sage all run though this sculpted, vibrant Serralunga Barolo. What stands out most about the Lazzarito today is that is stylistically more similar to the other Barolos than it was a few years ago. I expect great things in time here.”

| | 3-bottle-case 2018 Vietti Barolo Ravera $650 3pack ORIGINAL WOOD CASE
95+ Points Antonio Galloni “The 2018 Barolo Ravera is a wine of real depth and vertical structure. As always, the Ravera is a taut, nervy Barolo built on energy more than volume. Readers will have to be patient, as the Ravera is likely to require a number of years to be at its most expressive. Even in the early going, it is vibrant and full of life. Rose petal, chalk, blood orange and white pepper lend striking exotic top notes that are quite suggestive of what the future is going to bring. What a gorgeous Barolo this is.”

| | 2018 Vietti Barolo Montvigliero $225 bottle ORIGINAL WOOD CASE
96 Points Antonio Galloni “The 2018 Barolo Monvigliero, another new wine in this range, is dazzling. That's not much of a surprise, as the 2018 has always been gorgeous from barrel. A touch of whole clusters adds aromatic nuance and lift to this super-classic, sculpted Barolo. The Monvigliero impresses with its purity, delineation and class. Superb.”
