I remember first tasting the 1999s in the Vietti tasting room when they were first released. As gorgeous as the wines were then, they are even better today. In addition to these 1999s, Luca and Elena Currado opened a few older Barolos for added perspective. I have included notes on those wines here for readers who have an interest in some of the estate's early Barolos. Since the 1999s were made, Vietti has gone on to even greater heights, but readers who might still be able to source well-stored bottles should not hesitate.
