96 points James Suckling: "This is a very youthful Barolo that has attractive, fragrant perfume with freshly picked roasting herbs and a strong, central thread of ripe cherries and red plums. The pure and concentrated palate frames intense plum and cherry flavors in long, unwavering tannins that deliver rich, strong and seamless into the finish. Exceptional quality and built for aging. Try from 2025. (6/16/19)"
96 points and 'Year's Best Barolo & Barbaresco,' Wine & Spirits: "This wine’s rose and violet scents lead into flavors of blackberry and cherry layered with notes of fresh tobacco. The wine rested for 30 months in a mix of large casks and barriques, gaining hints of toasted spice and velvety tannins, yet the flavors remain brisk and fresh. (Dec 2019)"
95 points Wine Spectator: "Rich and multifaceted, sporting cherry, raspberry, green tea, iron and tobacco flavors. The sweet fruit is matched to firm, dense tannins and the finish turns austere for now. Everything is in the right proportion, but patience is required. Best from 2023 through 2045. 745 cases made, 225 cases imported. (12/31/19)"
94 points Decanter: "Vietti was bought by a US company in 2016 but long-standing family winemaker Luca Currado remains. This powerful wine is aged both in barriques and large casks. It shows lush, meaty aromas that currently lack finesse. It's very opulent and savoury on the palate, assertive without being astringent, and has imposing balance and length. Drink: 2021-2038. Alcohol 14%. (Aug 2019)"
