This prestigious collection comes to Iron Gate from a revered connoisseur and long-time wine collector. Lover of American wines, he spent many years sourcing them from some of the USA's finest properties and had them stored professionally at 55 Degrees in Napa Valley. Recognizing his cellar had grown far beyond what he could reasonably consume, he's brought the wines to auction to share with fellow enthusiasts.
The score for 2007 Vietti Brunate Barolo is 98 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2007 Barolo Brunate is a stunner. Layers of dark fruit, mocha, chocolate, menthol, pine and spices emerge reluctantly from an inward, mysterious Barolo that captures the essence of one of Piedmont's greatest sites. Structurally, it remains a powerhouse, with massive tannins, great body and fabulous length. The Brunate is one of the most improved wines at Vietti over the last few years, and is a huge success in this vintage. The score for 2000 Vietti Masseria Barbaresco is 95 points from Wine Spectator and the tasting note - Beautiful aromas of mushroom, berry and dried fruit. Full-bodied, with rich, silky tannins and a finish of amazing fruit and spices that goes on and on. I love this. Hard to hold back, as this is so luscious and exciting to taste now. Best after 2008. The score for 2007 Vietti Castiglione Barolo is 93 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2007 Barolo Castiglione deftly balances the open, radiant personality of the vintage with considerable underlying structure. Warm, dense and full-bodied, the 2007 Barolo Castiglione flows effortlessly across the palate with generous fruit and fabulous overall balance. The wine was even better when I tasted it from bottle a few months later. It is another overachieving wine from Vietti and a bottle that is exceedingly fairly priced.
