Vietti Barbaresco Masseria 2009
Vietti is a renowned winery in Piedmont, Italy, known for producing high-quality Barolo and Barbaresco red wines. Founded by Alfredo Currado in the 1960s, Vietti has vineyards in prestigious areas such as Barolo, Barbaresco, Monforte d'Alba, and Rocche. They cultivate various grape varieties including Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, and Arneis. Vietti's wines are admired for their elegance, structure, and complexity, reflecting the unique terroir of Piedmont. Their Barolo and Barbaresco wines often require extended aging to reveal their best flavors. Vietti also produces other red, white, and sparkling wines, as well as Grappa. They are celebrated for their commitment to quality and traditional winemaking practices.
The grapes are harvested from the cru vineyard Masseria, located in Neive, with 4.600 plants per hectare of 40 years old and grown with guyot system. The surface of the vineyard is 1,4 hectare. Calcareous-clayey soil. South exposure. The must rests for 18 days in open stainless steel tanks at 30 to 32° C for the alcoholic fermentation, with frequent “delestage”, punching down, open air pumping-over.
Description: Garnet ruby color, slight garnet hue, with intense aromas of ripe bing cherries with intricate complexities of minerals, tea leaves and rose petals. With firm, ripe tannins, crisp acidity and feminine and round structure, this Barberesco shows incredible finesse with excellent balance, integration and a long, lingering finish.

"This is already soft and delicious with berries, meat, white truffles and chilies. Full body, round tannins and a fruity finish." - Tasted on March 16, 2017

"Luca’s 2009 Barbaresco Masseria shows rich fruit and dark spice backed by elegant shadings of crushed mineral and dried tobacco. It shows a delicate nature in the mouth with lean, compact texture. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.
If forced to inhabit a desert island that only served the wines of a single producer, I would want Luca Currado to be that supplier. He excels at everything he does from his castle perch at the heart of Castiglione Falletto. Despite the difficult 2009 season, his wines remain extraordinary. In fact, they are among the best I tasted from the vintage." - Tasted on Jun 28, 2013

JS葡萄酒評分給予93分
「這款酒已經柔和且美味，帶有漿果、肉類、白松露和辣椒的味道。酒體飽滿，單寧圓潤，並以果味收結。」- James Suckling於2017年3月16日品嚐
RP葡萄酒評鑑給予92分
「Luca的2009年巴巴雷斯科馬賽里亞展現出豐富的水果和深色香料，並帶有優雅的破碎礦物和乾燥煙草的陰影。它在口中展現出細膩的特性，質地纖瘦而緊密。預計適飲期：2015年至2025年。
如果被迫居住在一個只供應一個酒莊的葡萄酒的荒島上，我希望Luca Currado能成為那個供應商。他在卡斯蒂廖內法萊托的城堡中擁有優秀的表現。儘管2009年的季節困難，他的葡萄酒仍然非凡。事實上，它們是我在這個年份品嚐的最好的葡萄酒之一。」- Monica Larner於2013年6月28日品嚐
