Wine Description for Barbaresco DOCG Roncaglie Masseria 2019 by Vietti

Character

An aristocratic Nebbiolo at 14.0% abv, showcasing the typical breeding and elegance of a great Piedmontese classic. Vinified dry, it reveals an impressive structure with fine-grained tannins and profound finesse. The 2019 vintage shines with an outstanding balance between fresh acidity and concentrated fruit. Vietti’s unmistakable signature—combining traditional craftsmanship with historical awareness—presents itself here in pure, historically evolved harmony.

Terroir & Origin

The historic estate Vietti, based in the ancient village of Castiglione Falletto, has been shaping the region’s viticultural history since 1873. The terroir of Barbaresco imparts a nuanced poetry all of its own to the Nebbiolo grape. As a pioneer of single-vineyard vinification—back in 1961, Alfredo Currado crafted one of the zone’s very first single-cru wines with the Masseria—Vietti masterfully captures the unadulterated, specific profile of top sites in the glass.

Grape Variety & Vinification

The demanding Nebbiolo grape requires absolute dedication and rewards it with complexity and longevity. As a renowned winery that has also made a name for itself through its cultural ties and artfully designed labels, Vietti stands for a meticulous interpretation of this variety. Maturation emphasizes its regional typicity, bringing out the structural depth of the grape without over-oaking.

Food Pairings

This structure-driven red wine pairs magnificently with braised pot roast, rack of lamb served pink, or a fine wild boar casserole. This classic also displays its full class alongside aged Parmigiano Reggiano or dishes featuring freshly shaved truffles.
