Vietti Barbaresco Masseria 2017

Vietti Barbaresco “Masseria” 2017

A beautifully structured and terroir-driven Nebbiolo from one of Piedmont’s most respected producers, Vietti’s Barbaresco Masseria showcases the distinctive character of the Roncaglie vineyard in Barbaresco. Known for producing wines of depth, precision, and mineral intensity, Masseria reflects both Vietti’s meticulous winemaking and the warmth and concentration of the 2017 vintage.

The nose is expressive and layered, offering aromas of dried rose, sour cherry, and red plum intertwined with notes of tar, sweet spice, and subtle balsamic herbs. Hints of orange peel, tea leaf, and crushed stone add nuance. On the palate, the wine is medium- to full-bodied, with firm yet finely polished tannins and vibrant acidity that provide clarity and structure. Concentrated red fruit flavors are complemented by savory earth and mineral undertones, leading to a long, focused finish.

More open and generous than cooler vintages, the 2017 Masseria balances richness and precision, making it approachable with extended decanting while retaining excellent aging potential.
